Re: [IRCA] Testing the Alinco DX-R8 Receiver



It does have about 10db attenuation in the MW band. However, the 10db preamp also works there. I found it to be pretty decent on MW in SSB. The sole AM bandwidth is around 9kHz, and lacking in rejection and slopes. The front end was decent as well.

Being a small radio I guess R-390A would take up too much space on the face
plate.  Seriously, being part SDR and part traditional receiver makes it an
interesting combination.  Just how good it is on MW is the question.  From
the specs it looks like it may have attenuation in the MW bandpass filter
like many other communications receivers such as the R-75 and FRG-100.
