Unlike the TS-990, the IC-7851 has a very quiet receiver with noise reduction circuitry that is almost flawless. I can say without reservation that the 7851 has the best receiver I have ever had the pleasure of operating. I’ve used a IC-7600 in the past, and most recently operated a Kenwood TS-990 for about two years (I’ve also used many other HF radios over the years, including the Flex 5000). I should note that I’ve never used the 7800, so the 7851 is my first foray into the high end Icom rigs. This new flagship entry replaced the venerable IC-7800 in the Icom HF radio lineup. I’m completing my first 30 days of using the new Icom IC-7851 HF transceiver.
