First.. The radio was purchased from and tuned at Bobs CB exit 70 I-80 PA. The shop is regarded as one of the best CB chops (rated by truckers).
Yes, the receive is far superior compared to my 980 (stock) and my 29 (stage 2 T&P). I had a friend run out in his jeep 5, 10, and 15 miles. He runs a galaxy he claims has a 50w kicker. At 5 miles we could talk back and forth easily with the 980 being the weakest receive for him. I picked him up clearly with the 980, 29, and quad 5. At 10 miles he could no longer pick up my 980 but could pick up my 29 and quad 5. All 3 radio received him but with the 29 and 980 i had to turn up the RF gain pretty high which resulted in alot of noise and static.With the quad 5 i picked him with RF gain set well below 50% and no noise/static. At 15 miles the 29 and 980 could not pick his radio up even with RF gain up all the way. The quad 5 still picked him up though i did have the RF gain up high enough so i was picking up static/noise. He could hear me transmit also. I realize this was not a scientific test but it did show the quad 5 transmitted and received better than the other 2 radios in real world scenarios.This test was conducted in western PA just south of I-80 so the hills did limit us some.
