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...

those receivers, not because of them.

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.
