Hello... phil?
.

I see Bob Sherwood relatively frequently at hamfests and keep bugging
him to put the R-75 specs into his high-end receiver comparison table.
Eventually... (he just laughed when I tried to sell him my R-75!)
Do you know that the Ten Tec RX340 and R-75 passport laboratory
measurements were conducted in your friend Bob Sherwood laboratory?
Here Bob RX-340 [$3,999]test findings:The sync selectable sideband
lose look relatively
easily,Passport recomend an external Sherwood SE-3 [500.00],poor
dynamic range,static crashes sound harsher than on analog
receivers.Spurious signal noted around 6MHZ segment,notch filter does
not work in AM,Sync selectable sideband or ISB modes,Noise blanker not
effective ect, ect, ect,
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.

I've really got to tell you what blows my mind! It's the fact that you and many others who claim to 'own' an
R75 keep writing it up as a 'R-75'. Do you ever get to use the radio and look at the front panel?

It's an R75, at least it says so on the front. Or, is the problem that you've always got it apart trying to
fix its shortcomings that you never actually get to look at the front of the radio?

Wondering...
