But at very different signal strenghts and with very different
characteristics: The R8B overloaded abruptly -- switching in a 1 dB
step was enough to have it operating normally or overloaded. The R75,
by contrast, had this "mushy" signal strength area.

neither radio is an IP3 god. a portable with LW loop will outperform a
radio hooked to a wire requiring 40+ dB attenuation.

Blindly reading specifications can lead you astray on how the radio will
perform. Some measurements require the radio be in a non-optimum
reception state.

I'm going to play devil's advocate and ask the question "why do some
radios work much better than the IP3 @ 5KHz measurement would indicate?"

Anybody feel free answer the question.
