So two weeks ago I went to the Forestdale RI Hamfest, nice small quaint affair. Ran into a kind elderly gentleman that I had met a couple of weeks before at the Woonsocket fest. He had a friend that had passed and had his nice old clean station that consisted of a TS520SE. One hundred dollars later I was the new proud owner, he said it worked flawlessly but for a hundred bucks I didn't expect much, did I mention it has the CW narrow filter? Well this morning I finally got a chance to fire it up, tune, dip the plate, load and off we go. Tune around and hear stations everywhere, bands are great. I work a few SA stations on 10M and decide to see how it compares to some of the new rigs. I turn on my TS570SG and can barely here the station I just worked, WTF? I fire up the IC746pro, same thing, weak and in the noise, back to the 520 and he's loud and clear, only an S2 but fine copy. Now I'm upset and conduct a few more tests and confirm that the old 520 receiver is outperforming ALL my newer radios. Do I need to spend $5000 now to get a receiver that will out perform a 30 year old radio? Anyone else experience this? Now I really need to send the old TS940SAT out to get the PLL unlock fixed, damn.
