Don't quite understand what you mean can you elaborate?
I've used the 7100 for a few years now and it has excellent performance for an "early" handheld receiver. Sensitivity and selectivity is among the best I've seen. I use a home-made 1/4 wave antenna for airband mounted on the roof and a 20m long wire strung out down the garden for listening to HF.
Advice for anyone considering buying a handheld airband radio..
1) Buy a digital receiver with digital display (analog "elastic band" displays are pretty useless and only really work well if you're within a couple of miles of an airport).
2) Make sure it has a detachable antenna (preferably with a BNC connector).
3) Most airband receivers are susceptible to "noise" generated by televisions, computers, dodgy central heating systems etc so try and site the radio in the clear and if possible use an external antenna for best performance.
4) Make sure the radio has adjustable frequency "steps" (ie, 1,5,6.25,10 khz etc)
Hope this helps
And remember - Don't listen to any transmissions for which you don't possess a licence
otherwise bad things could happen (and if you want to know which bad things...watch the movie SCANNERS
)
