"drake r8 line longwave dx performance and the r75." The Drake R8 series is sensitive on "LONGWAVE" with no modifications. The R75 needs modifications to match the R8's performance on MW and LONGWAVE. That said, when it has been modified, the R75 performance is good. I have owned both and preferred the R8B. Michael............grow up and get a life, or at least learn to respond to the original posters question..... Try your best to avoid your obvious compulsion to be abusive and antagonistic without provocation and listen up. The original post leaves plenty of room for comment regarding the performance of both the R75 and the R8. My post was not in defense of the R75 nor was it a hatchet job on the R8. It doesn't take more then the sense that god gave a mule to understand that. I've also found that individuals who use the infantile and banal cliché "get a life" are to a man/woman, the ones lacking in accomplishments, education and relationships. Is it your unique understanding of those deficiencies that prompt you to use it also ??? Michael |
