The 870 is tuned too low in frequency..as mentioned before. I also see that the if shift is some way over the left.. narrow setting the filters and if shift adjustment is critical on the ts-870 in cw mode... in this test the ft-100D is digging out the signal better... the amount of noise of the Icom is astounding!!
Interesting...The little FT-100 is obviously doing better than the others. The IC-7600 is just making noise! Possibly the 7600 is tuned a bit low in pitch but still, the noise is horrible. Too bad there isn't a K3 in the mix.
FT-100D has led to better, higher in the rx.
IC-7600 radio bad

COMPARISONS ARE APPRCIATED. WONDER WHAT ATTENUATION EACH RIG IS SET AT? IS ANF ON IN ANY CASE? IS NB ON IN ANY CASe? What filter is on if any ?
HOW BIG IS THE BAND WIDTH IN EACH CASE, ETC? 2.5K 1.0 K 500 HZ?

This is the best radio,
ICOM IC-7600 The only one!
No way for t e other.

Plus the 7600 is the only radio in CW-R mode...changing the entire passband landscape.
If you turned off the Preamp 2, kicked in a little NR,
reduced the bandwidth to 250 and peaked the audio filter, then the 7600 would sound like the winner.
The FT-100 has congenital problems..like it's TX sounding horrible and blowing out. The 870 is like a radio-lab... a classic.

qrrm in the 7600 with the preamp 2 is normal

yes, agree > we do not know conditions of all three radios. Icom has preamp 2 and what abt other ones? Also BW, AGC etc...

Are the 3 radios connected to the same antenna, if not this comparison is not much counting.

Nice video, but hard to tell watching the video. it almost looks like the 870 is doing the best. What was your opinion?

These radios are more or less equal on receiving. Yaesu is doing surprisingly well and Kenwood is over 13 years older then Icom...

Well but noisy Icom has level 2 of the pre-amp which is not comparable with the others...

It would be cool to see the same demo with some SSB Voice to see the differences there
