At this time no modifications are available for the R8B flaws [synthesizer phase noise,background hiss,birdies,cheapy encoder,K'mart keypad ect ect [yes,I agree, for the funny tunning knob there is a remplacement available]. .....About the "running very hot" problem , you did the right thing with adding an external AC adaptor,Yes,you are learning very fast. And just when did I ever say I used an external AC adapter with either my R8 or my R8B? Check RRS archives..... As for the modifications to same, has it ever occurred to you, pea brain, that if the modifications truely, and let me emphasise the word TRUELY, needed to be performed, then someone would have come up with a way to do them? Hey "respetable gentleman","truely" is not the correct word the correct word is truly. You 'seem' to know a 'little bit' about electronics, Yes you are correct here I don't know "a little bit" about electronics.Everybody know that you are the "genius" here. ask the question of why you seem to be so inclined to perform so many mods on the R75, and never seem to have done any on the R8B and/or R8 that you once claim to have owned? The R8B need a new design not some mods.My suggetions are that they need to work with grounding and shielding new tehniques [for the birdies,background hiss and synthesizer phase noise] a pro optical encoder and better filters with better shape skirt factor [like the ones in the drake R7], 1hz increments tunning steps,better keypad and tunning knob and a nide DSP ect ect... not an easy task . I've used quite a few different receivers in the past. I can tell you from experience that there's no way I'd trade my Drakes for an R75. Your personal oppinion and I respect it. used one here long enough And as I've pointed out before, the gentleman who was kind enough to bring it here for comparison testing felt the same way I do, and promptly sold it and bought an R8B. And since then I believe he's purchased an R8. Yes "the kind misteriously and gentleman R75 man" again.Nice story for a radio novel. |
