Sounds like we've had a similar history. I even went the SW77 route for awhile, was so disappointed that I almost gave up on SWL until the E1 came along, what a rig. The SW77 was always a disappointment for me - the audio never sounded right, the sync let go too easy and the digits on the display were too small for me to comfortably see. Now with leaking caps, the receiver has been retired for display only. I've already had the caps replaced twice. I like the audio and sync on the Grundig Sat800, but the high noise floor caused by the large display just drowns out a lot of DX. I can hear plenty of stations on my R75 or E1 that just aren't there when listening to the Sat800. I also predict that most 800's will eventually face optical encoder problems. I played with a Palstar R30 back in 2001 that I should've held on to. I still own two 2010's, though I don't use them much these days. Mike Louisville, KY |
