The modifications must be effective. The 909, on it's whip antenna, is not
exactly deaf but rather hard of hearing. The filters are pretty poor. It
performs well on an external antenna though but, of course, this doesn't do
anything for the filters.

"Falcon" wrote in message Since I have never
tried an un-modified one I really do not have a
direct comparison on the sensitivity increase. I do, however, know
that the sensitivity is very good on this one. As far as overloading
it is not a big problem although it is somewhat noticeable. The
modified filters (again no direct comparison) seem to work well on
shutting out adjacent stations.
