My favourite filter in the R7 is the 3 kHz.

I just wonder why you'd limit yourself to DX'ing in USB mode. Wouldn't you want
to shift sidebands depending upon the interference?-


Whew! another error = thanks for pointing that out Ace.
Of course I meant SSB where I toggle between USB and LSB to obtain the
best result.

The Drake R7A is a really fine radio, costing $1500 in 1981 when it
came out. A lot of money in those days!

To reply to clifto on the Frog. It can achieve amazing results in the
right hands and the recovered audio is as good as the old valve
radio's. But it has an open front end 1000 Khz wide that lets in all
sorts of spurious images that can be quite annoying when DXing the HF
bands.
