Tom,

        How is the AM sensitivity Low-VHF and up?

        Any AGC or other insummountable fixed settings that
might make it a poor choice for RFI-hunting?

Thanks - David KD4E

Don,

The VX-3R has an HF sensitivity of 3 uV on AM which is equivalent to an
S-5 signal.  Couple that with the reduced antenna factor of a portable
antenna, you might not be able to hear anything but very strong RFI.

Does anybody have settings that work for the Yaesu VX-3R. It's all
mode receive and can use either the built in bar antenna or external
in AM but so far I can't get it to hear the RFI in the noise.
