All of the problems you're magnifying are extremely minor, except for the encoder. It seems to me that you are bashing the R8B because it's American made. Yes 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]. .....receiver "running very hot" even turned off ect ect.... Drake R8B "extremely minor problems" and you sold it and now have a R-75? LOL, ANY problem the R8 series has is INDEED minor when compared to the GLARING flaws in the R75 design... Steve Holland, MI Drake R7, R8 and R8B "I swear by, not at, Drake receivers" I own 2 Drakes and an Icom R75. I have no complaints about either radio. I think it's human nature to nit pick, and do the "my radio is better than yours" argument. It's been a staple in the ng's and even in the old bbs days when I used to frequent the FIDO Groups. -- 73's Rick Drake R8 & R8B ICOM R75 Yaesu 7700 Hammarlund SP-600-JX-17 "If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?" |

I think it's human nature to nit pick, and do the "my radio is better than yours" argument. LOL. i agree... even a radio war would be a S/N improvement for RRS. regards, phil |

Since you were a major instigator in the first R75 vs R8B radio war, I'm
glad to see you learned something from that experience. Please take Kenneth back to the Yahoo R75 group where he belongs. You may have to pull him by the ear. Tell him he needs a time-out or there will be no R75 privileges until he behaves better. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

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 |
