I've been running tests on various frequency bands and modes and have to report back that my Alinco has out performed my Icom by quite a lot. Whether squelch is disabled (don't be confused with what squelch is) or not the Icom performs terribly.
As a person who loves DX'ing with squelch disabled, makes scanning more worth while until I go completely insane and have to enable it again! :)
I'm now on the prowl for something that can out perform my Alinco, any suggestions on a good receiver. All of my radios are portables so preferably keep it in this category.

I got the Alinco-DJX2000 and my AOR/GRE/ICOM/UNIDEN portable radios pick up better signals than the Alinco and i have got a lot of different portable antennas.
