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

[C & T Dorn <cdorn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, you're correct. The narrow SSB filter can be used in the AM mode. 
That's not new. You can roll the IF shift as well in AM to improve the 
audio. It's a good utilities radio, as one would expect given it's 
transceiver heritage. It just didn't do much for me as far as broadcast 
listening. I found sensitivity more than adequate in the MW band. Enjoy, 
and look forward to your review.
