Just another IC-R75 " HACK " I mean R-75 modification. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
hi HFguy:
i made a couple good friends from RRS and spent some of 2003 reading RF electronics, doing experiments, and designing a MW receiver... it's been fun. regards, phil :) |
howdy Linus:
I'm STILL looking for replacement surface mount LED's for that damned display! e-mail me, i'll pass along my idea and if it pans out we can share it with the R75 Yahoo Group. regards, phil |
hi Telamon:
my purpose was not to belittle. you're correct, specs can be deceiving. does someone sell a $600 K2 for a $3300 Orion if under their conditions it yields only 0.2% more IDs? possibly. you would be successful with any receiver because you understand RF environment, antennas, propagation patterns, etc. regards, phil :) |

Icom has quality control problems. Thay work great, when thay work. Bill, N5NOB I own a second hand one, for over 14 months now. It never let me down, i think it´s a fine reciever with great performance. Of course it´s not comparable with some $4000 + professional receivers, but for what i´ve spend on it i´ve got a lot of fun. I´m not into electronics, and i can´t tell the difference between a capacitor and a resistor but i´ve modded mine with the AGC/SAM mods just for fun. Before the mods it was a fine receiver, comparable with my Lowe HF-225, and now it´s even better.

Do you know that the Ten Tec RX340 and R-75 passport laboratory measurements were conducted in your friend Bob Sherwood laboratory? The sync selectable sideband lose look relatively easily, Early firmware fix. Passport in the evaluation of revised model page:A number of issues persist:synchronous selectable sideband doesn't hold lock as well as it should and various feature are limited by mode choice.In read in the ten tec RX- 350 yahoo group that they are still waiting for some of those "firmware fixings" Passport recomend an external Sherwood SE-3 [500.00], For most radios, and for those they don't it's often because the combined cost will put you into another radio's class. poor dynamic range, The 81 dB is killing me. If I mod it I can get 100 dB at 5 kHz. Check the ten tec site page for the RX340 dynamic range and blocking lab numbers static crashes sound harsher than on analog receivers. They do. It's shortwave radio -- shut up and deal. notch filter does not work in AM,Sync selectable sideband or ISB modes,Noise blanker not effective ect, ect, ect, Firmware fix, Kenneth. Maybe you should check what's going on before you wroted anything down. Where I can read about this latest "firmware fixes" to the syn det? Maybe he recalled this RX-340 test when he laughed at you in the hamfest.About his R-75 test:Oustanding rejection of spurious signals,reception of faint signals alongside powerful competing ones , ultimate selectivity and good dynamic range.If you or anyone here keep trying to put down the R-75 with subjetive statements I will react with your own resources. You. Are. An. Idiot. I don't did the test, you are insulting the wrong guy. You go play with your R-75, all features, no basic performance play toy while the rest of us use real radios. I do believe that the front panel of an RX-240 is too complex for you to use, though, so don't bother trying to actually use the features. Yes for me any radio is a toy to play with it,a hobby,something to have fun.Insulting [or trying to insult] people because they don't like your expensive toy is a childish behavior. Do you see what happens when you you try to "put down" others receivers with sarcastic arguments and you have a glass roof? .You get upset and start insulting everyone that don't like your radio.You a suppposed respetable and honorable gentleman are only projecting your repressed desires in your insults.One more point: To insult people is the first sign of a poor argument. If you call someone a loser, or an idiot it indicates that you don't have anything intelligent to say and you are far less likely to attract support than if you concentrate on the discussion topic.People who frequently base their arguments around lines like "get a life" don't tend to be taken too seriously.Relax we are talking only about a radio.
