I have a S38 and a SX99 here, and they are both helped immensely
by an audio DSP filter...if you can keep the stations tuned in...

Differences from location-to-location and operating styles are
probably why some are very happy with mediocre or poor IM and
blocking performance, and others are equally unhappy.
Radios should be getting better with improved technology, not
worse.
