Dec 11, 2014 · The R9000 still ranks fairly well on Rob Sherwood's site and much better than the R-8500 and AOR 5000. I can't think of any hobby type SDR receiver with the same frequency range that would touch it in performance.

Apr 29, 2023 · Hi All. I have always had my eye on an "Unblocked" ICOM IC-R9000. In its day, it was the premier receiver to have. There are still a few used units around for purchase, but who know how well they function, or if they can be repaired if necessary. So... Which ICOM receiver comes closest to...

May 2, 2024 · I asked in a previous discussion about the differences between the good old R9000 against the actual ICOM flagship R8600. Maybe the R8600 seems a little bit better in terms of performances. But unfortunately I dropped the idea to buy the R8600 due to touch screen display (please see the other...

Apr 29, 2024 · My question is in the subject. I'm evaluating a new wideband ICOM receiver for my shack, and I thought that the R8600 could be the best choice yet. But today I got a great offer for a latest series R9000 (probably produced around year 2000) in fascinating conditions. I never seen such fantastic...

Jul 9, 2018 · Good day everyone This weekend I bought a broken Icom IC-R9000 receiver. quickly I located the problem to be in the power unit. The capacitors C5 and C6 were totally dried out and therefore I replaced those. After replacing those I had still no success in getting the receiver to work again. Therefore I continued measuring for broken components.

Dec 17, 2018 · I tried to duplicate the R9000 coverage back in the 1990's by buying an R7100 (before they were cell blocked) and an R72. As it turned out, the R72's specs were just not that great, but the R7100 was everything it set out to be. I still have both. I'd gladly sell the R72, but I won't part with the R7100.

Apr 19, 2009 · A hardware reset by quickly shorting across the CPU lithium battery with a very low resistance on power up may reinitialize your processor if it's into a hung start. IC7 (Logic A) and its behavior on power up would be interesting to observe as this intializes the various IC's on the same page for start up. A scope would be best to observe this.
