I'll say it again: It *is* value for the money, but it is *not* an
absolute value.

For me, the issue that is important is front-end overload. There are
several flamethrowers that put millivolts worth of signal on my
antennas. I don't have problems with close-in dynamic range... no one
should really have problems with sensitivity on HF.

The R75 was nothing but images below 10 MHz without both preamps off
and the attenuator on.

Hmmm,,,, thats odd as I have a combo AM - FM radio station almost
literally in my back yard. The stations antennas are maybe 750-800'
from my antenna and I have never had any image problems at all. I'm sure
there is a birdie or 2 somewhere throughout the bands but I have never
noticed any of those either. I listen to ute's and amateur 99% of the time
and find the R 75 does very well for this. ( I do use a seperate speaker
as the internal one sucks) but that is my biggest complaint.
