Depends on what kind of listening you want to do.

Snip

No it depends on whether you know what you are doing. I'm fed up
with
people advising people new to the hobby that this is the radio to
get.
This is the wrong radio for them to get unless they have the
aptitude
for it. Unless you want to kill the hobby stop recommending this
radio
to newbies please.

You can make exceptions for people that are technicians or
engineers
that have an understanding of what the radio can do or be modified
to
do
or are inclined to modify it themselves.

I keep seeing people new to hobby sell the R75 they picked up and
leave
the hobby.

You dont need a PhD to operate an R-75. It is no more complicated to
use
the an R8. Where are you coming from ???

Where am I coming from? I coming from seeing someone new to the hobby
buy a R75 then decide the hobby is not for them and selling it. Then
exit the hobby. That's were I'm coming from.


Why would they leave the hobby over an R-75 and not leave over an R8 ???

If you can't figure that out me amount of explanation from me will help
you.


I see... Running for the cover of a little misdirection, huh ???

Mike save it. That guy is a pure moron and has the brains of a termite and
the personality of a pencil. He doesn't know what he's talking and never
will. Your totally wasting your time with him.
