Thomson TRC-3400 vs commercial radios

How does a military radio perform agains a commercial radio? Well in this video I try to compare a Yaesu FT-897 and a Icom IC-7200. Both radios are very well know and in fact I think they bothhave a militarish look don't you think?
I used 50% mic gain and compression on the commercial radios side and 20W.
What do you think? Today conditions were ok, I think this would be more clear of the frequency were more closed or busy.

great video, gracias!

Gracias a ti!

Can you compare reception of a weak station between all three in another video?

[@mikekokomomike]

only thing I could add, try to find a receiver in ground wave range, eliminate the ionosphere

[@MrJakeXXL]

Thought the 897 sounded best

[@sfotis]

Yaesu had a good modulation, no artifacts. Icom was somehow disappointing. The TRC had the typical milspec modulation you would axpect from such a radio, clear voice, no unneeded speech spectrum was transmitted.

[@Radiogenes]

Yes! I think the Icom could be improved somehow fiddling either with compression or mic gain. But Yaesu just works

[@n1kkri]

are you verifying the output power on a wattmeter?

[@Macjohn1419]

Basically no difference between all of them.

[@Radiogenes]

Now we now 😝 I think if conditions were worse or longer distances compression and voice processing is a game changer… maybe this was too easy for them

[@BD7PA]

Why didn't they take a picture of the frequency spectrum when the military aircraft called at the end? Thank you.

[@Radiogenes]

Sorry, the frequency of the spectrum was not centered. However the point was in audio. I would love to have an S-meter on that receiver to compare. Other than that, the spectrum is not big deal to do comparisons I think

@@Radiogenes I see. I misunderstood and thought it might not be convenient to make it public. Thank you for your reply. 😝

How much time was there between each test?

[@Radiogenes]

It was performed in about 10’ all together

What was the point of your comparison !

[@Radiogenes]

Intelligibility! Clarity! Quality of radio!

[@Pahrump]

@EI6DP I think one of the points for me was to get people such as yourself to come out of the woodwork who don't know the difference between ? And !
