just wondering i don't own a drake r8, r8a or r8b, but i am thinking of
purchasing an r8 or r8a. does anyone use this radio for dxing NDB's and
how does it perform on longwave. i'm also reading alot about the r75 as
a pure dx radio, especially with the mods, but it seems the drake never
gets the heads up vs the r75 as a pure dxer. it also seems that the
drake is the better BCB listening radio due to its better audio. i
would love to hear from someone who owns both. and has compared them in
this respect.

thx, john


It seems that Michael in his zeal to defend the R75 forgot the original
question.

"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 ???
