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.

It's an OK radio on some accounts but the AGC and sync circuits don't
function well and the audio sucks. Apparently the radio can be modified
to resolve these problems.

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

You don't have to modify an E1 for it to work right. I don't own an E1
but the specifications and features look good to me. Reports from
reliable people in the news group that have purchased an E1 are good.
Reports from reliable people in the news group about the R75 are not
so good.

Don't pay any attention to the Trolling idiots.
