I don't buy Hamradios based on the Sherwood list. Why would I? I don't have a lab environment. Most Ham's would benefit more from a better antenna than a better rig?
I have tried and had many radios and I only test them with headphones always with the same headphones and the same antenna with the same sensitivity, Yaesu uses a DNR which no radio has and digital noise reduction, that's why it makes the difference between other radios radios have the patent and no one can put it in the radios, kewood, icom and others, they all have NR non-digital noise reduction, maybe that's why?
Thanks for the video. Personally like the 101, but S Meter should not be 0 unless it's not hooked up to an antenna. There is always a noise floor so meter isn't accurate (scratching head). DNR was impressive, but 7700 put up a fight. Nice radios!!
I think the noise floor is not so bad on the 7700 ? The Lx station was going over the 9 on the 7700 but 7-8 on the 101? Might be an 1s of difference? Both are FAB . The 101 might have better NR . I enjoyed your video .
why people keep saying that a radio is quieter by judging the s-meter? this is lack of knowledge FIRST: Icom and Yaesu use different calibration for the s-meter scale SECOND: you’re not giving the two radios the same starting conditions. Yaesu is in IPO but should be PREAMP1 ON to set similar sensitivity THIRD: the band noise here is setting the noise floor, not the radio receiver section. FOURTH: the filter bandwidth doesn’t match between the two by ear. Too many misconceptions. 73
nice video i have the icom 7700 several years and I am very pleased

AGC are not the same on any radio

a fantastic receiver

Both good radios yes the 101 dnr is far better.
...and VFO...
7700 is to sensitieve on the low bands i always use the att
why a test only on 40m?
the bands were flat
Icom Icom fir ever
Very nice
What antenna are you using John? S1 or less noise on 40M is unreal receive to have!
Hi Robbie Just a 40m dipole and a g5rv just lucky at this qth on lower bands and lots of ferrites hi.
no CW ....not interesting :(((
Yeasu wins IMHO
bands are bad this morning but saying that there where fantastic about 1.00 am this morn and i caused a pile up early sat morn little old me lol

How do you find your Ftdx101D Against your IC7700 ? I'm curious ??
thanks for your comment
very nice
101d any day off the week and I ain't saying that because I own one.its just a far better radio
Very nice
yeasu was crap for olways.This my personal opinion.Y can mod.My best is ken ts850 or 7300
