I'll add my 2 cents worth on the Alinco DR235 220 MHz. I only had one Alinco, but its sensitivity was very poor. Was so noisy at 0.5 uV, it was not until 3-4 uV that it started to reduce the noise. I'll eventually fix it, whether it is the front end device and/or the VCO.
My Midland 13-509 (last century type design rig) beat it by a mile and even my ADI AR247 even approaches the Midland/Clegg. Also, my Maggiore receivers are about equal to the 13-509/FM-76.
