I am, like DeWayne, the happy owner of an R75, AND I owned a Drake R8B for
three years. The R8B is an awesome receiver, and the problems you're blowing
all out of proportion are as DeWayne says, minor and infrequent (I never ONCE
had a problem with the encoder or tuning knob)...

synthesizer phase noise,background hiss,birdies,cheapy mechanical
encoder with high failure rate,NO DSP


You actually think the DSP in the R75 is worth anything?

,no 1hz tunning steps
increments,K'mart keypad,poor grounding and shielding techniques,not
pro filters[with excellent shape factor skirts selectivity,notch
filter does not tune under 500hz,run very hot


One again, another question you refuse to answer. Just what do you consider to be 'very hot'?

Can you answer even one question Kenneth?
