We tested SSB (USB) and AM last night with the same results, under the exact same test conditions, equipment, and obviously using ground wave on 10 meters at 18.6 mile direct path. An occasional picket fencing would occur about every 30 minutes, however we avoided that condition for the tests.

My TS850s has a much higher sensitivity in SSB on 10m than the SDR1000. On 6m the SDR1000 is plain deaf. 73 Maarten N1DZ On Tue, 29 Aug 2006 15:10:45 -0400, Radio Station W5AMI [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We tested SSB (USB) and AM last night with the same results, under the exact same test

Just curious what I should expect on a comparison of rcve sensitivity between the SDR-1000 and KW TS-850 on 10 meters. With one watt of transmitted RF on FM between two stations 18.6 miles distant, the unit we tested shows the 850 as a winner by a long shot. I am not talking about S-meter

To be fair to the two radios you mentioned, that was on FM, and any audio mode that needs a wide frequency response is notoriously difficult to be subjective about... Having been an AM CBer in the the UK, I quickly noticed that FM CB rigs that became legal in the UK did not seem to do as well
