Hello all

I may be buying a R75 shortly but have a question on its broadcast band
capacity. I have heard that the R75 is not a very good receiver for
listening to AM broadcasting because of its poor synch detector. I am
wondering if it is as bad as the reviews say it is or is it something
that can be overcome.
Also I am curious as to how the Eton E1 would compare to the R75 in
performance as I have heard good things about it as well. I am hesitant
in putting down $500 on a portable radio but would like to weigh all
the options before deciding which receiver to get

Thanks
