Eton Satellit vs Panasoninc RF-B65: Radio Guinée 9650 kHz on the telesco...

Hi there, here is a comparison of (in my opinion) one of the best shortwave portables currently available today versus one of the best ever, the Panasonic RF-B65, built around 1990. I was fortuate to buy an RF-B65 off eBay in as-new condition, mind you, I paid for it lol, they still go for a lot of money and for good reason. Sensitivity on the RF-B65 is up there with the ICF-2001 and although it lacks SYNC, it does have SSB and fine tuning. With a paperback-sized case, it's still a very compelling portable shortwave receiver and has something of a cult following amonst DXers. So here is the signal from Radio Guinée using just the telescopic antennas on both radios. Let me know your opinions, it's quite a close call. Recorded at the woods in Oxford on 26/03/17 at 16:52 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching.
