Where "fringe" area
reception is the challenge, the relative performance of these
two may be of interest. The 91XG, in particular, is pretty much a
benchmark for multipath prone fringe area reception, and these comparisons indicate how the
newer PR9032 stacks up against it.

Conclusion
The 91XG is just slightly better at the
low end but is a little over twice as sensitive (about4 dB) at the high end. That's fairly significant. The cost differential
will be justified where the weakest channels are at the upper end. If the
only channels involved are at the low end of the band (below Ch 30), the PR-9032
will provide almost the same signal strength as the 91XG.
