The R-1000 I had would drift a little until it had warmed up for about
1/2 an hour. Only a slight problem if you were listening to SSB or
exhaulted carrier transmissions. After 30 minutes though it was fine
and drifted only 10 to 20 cycles per hour . Quite usable for copying
an AM signal on SSB mode.


You got a better one than I have. It's prone to 50 Hz jumps at
any old time. Made narrowband RTTY and TOR monitoring a babysitting
operation.

The only other thing I encountered with the R-1000 was a bit of
muliplexer noise from the display. I was using a short random wire
without a proper rf ground. I expect that if I had a proper RF ground
or used un-balanced line to feed an antenna out doors this noise would
not have been heard.


Strange. Given all the stuff in there, I'm amazed that I can't pick up
anything except the 3.2768 MHz clock for the counter, a few spurs in the
15 MHz band (1/3 the first IF, I think) , and some 1 MHz harmonics in
the 20-30 MHz range. On the other hand, if you fire up a low band VHF
scanner next to it, there's an amazing amount of crap. It would make
a good 6 meter transmitter VFO if you tapped into the first LO.

I always felt that for the money it was a good buy and still is at
$100-$200 on the used market.


Where do you find one that cheap? ;-)
