Thanks for all the interesting comments on this. Part of what contributed to the thought processes was that in the past I have owned a number of solid state receivers and transceivers, but none of them compare in terms of signal and noise handling to the AR88. This does not appear to be affected at all by being surrounded by various RF 'dirty' devices such as computers and computer switches, CRT screen etc. Also, it does not seem to pick up the static crashes as much during high static periods. Is this down to the greater signal handling capacity in the front end, and/or better front end filtering?
