No, nothing at all changed. They both sit side by side, and neither one has
moved.

I'm relatively sure that the R-1000 is performing like it should. I know
it's popular here to "dis" the 800, but it really is a great radio. I got
it for a good price not too long ago, and with all the bashing it gets I was
pleasantly surprised. It's a later model (2004) so it has the improvements.
With the price I bought it for, I knew I could resell it on eBay and make a
few bucks, but I'm going to keep it after having played with it now.

Thanks.

I'm a little surprised that the Sat 800 would generally outperform the
R-1000, but anyway...

On the day the R-1000 had the 'edge', had either it or the 800 changed
position or orientation in any way? I'm wondering if, on this
particular day, you were using the R-1000 in a location that is quieter
than where it's usually situated.

Was there a change in the way either radio was powered?

I could be wrong, but I have the sneaking suspicion that something is
keeping the R-1000 from performing to its full potential most of the
time.
