Now, why am I not surprised.....


Yeah, I know, I sound like phil blathering on about the R-75...

Actually, I was expecting you to give the other side's
perspective.

Well, I think that the radio gets a lot of hard knocks that it doesn't
deserve. Aside from the filters and some missing features, it is a
*good* radio.

A real surprise to me was seeing how Robert Sherwood ranked it in its
performance at

....every time I see Bob at a hamfest I bug him to get the R-75 numbers
up there so we can do an a/b comparison.

But in the mean time, check out noise floor, ultimate rejection,
preselector, sensitivity, compared to, say, the RX-340.


How you been Eric? Things going better?

A little bit, but still touch-n-go for the moment. Sold off my R-75,
HF-150, FRG-7 and DSP-599zx, leaving the two 8500s, the RX-340, the
R-392 and the WinRadio G303i. I'm still plodding along, although the
rest of the year will be wicked, next year should improve.
