Drew,

Is it just de-sense, or lower sensitivity on the sub-band? I have one on 
loan I am going to try (A-B compare to my FT-530 with the Arrow), as soon as 
I find a SMA-BNC adapter in my shack.

I read the QST review and the author said "no issue" except for same-band 
sub-band, but he is not an experienced LEO user (as he stated in the 
review).
