![]() Some receivers have features added, and bugs fixed in later hardware/firmware versions. It is helpful to research the receivers on the internet. I been looking around for another receiver and considered the Icom R9000 as well. So what you all think R9000 still worth it? still a contender? Or just another old radio that may get little to no use with todays tech and SDRs. I still love to have a R9000 that is in good working order that seem to be rare but pop up sometimes I dont look forward to having to replace all the capacitors but will cross that bridge if I get there. ![]() I can certainly use that money to pay for a new radio for sure, but somehow I don't seem to be as excited over anything else. But also in the back of my mind I'm wondering is it even worth getting a 15-20 year old tech radio. Now that I'm older and can swing some major purchases I see R9000s here and there on ebay or other places used of course and for still a nice chuck of change but doable as long as the wife don't find out. I wanted one so bad but a new unit back then was way out of a young mans price range. I been monitoring on and off since the 90's and for along time those early years I lusted over the Icom R9000 receiver.
