Hi

I assembled an UHF antenna for Satellite reception for a couple of days back.

The details are given in following link :

Every thing was OK. But I could not receive any signal on my UHF
ALINCO DR-430. Yesterday when I was scanning UHF frequencies on my
handy, it was found that cable TV audio were coming at many
frequencies on Handy with rubber ducky only.

When I tuned the Alinco set on that frequency there was no signal.
Again I connected my handy to external antenna, the signal report was
59.

Then I prepared one comparison chart for my UHF sets.

Frequency Alinco ICOM ICOM BAOFENG
(MHZ) DR-430 IC T7H IC T90A UV-3r Mark II
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
----------------
431.250 (say) no signal 59 59 57

439.250 (say) just open 59 59 56
the squelch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
------------------
All the experiments were performed on the external antenna as described above.

Now, I am little bit confused which set is OK, which is less sensitive
or receiving spurious signal.

It would be appreciated if any one can guide me in this regards.
