A friend of mine back in high school had the older Kenwood TS-520. It was an awesome radio back in the day and way better than the Swan 500CX that I had. The Swan put out more power but the receiver was no where near as good as the Kenwood's. The Swan's IF bandwidth (selectivity) was somewhat broad so stronger stations had nice audio fidelity but but weaker signals were more easily interfered with - and the Swan radio drifted.
