Ok, I've got enought for either the R75 or the Sat800. They're
both about the same price. I'm not too concerned about portability
but looking for a great all around box for the money.

All around box? The R-75 if it were me. Good enough for BC, but good
at the other modes also.
IE: SSB, CW, etc...Also, I agree with one, the Drake R-8 is worthy of
a look.
It covers all the bases fairly well also. MK


I have had the opportunity to use both the Drake R8B and the Icom
R-75 before buying. For *me* personally (trying to be as objective as I
could,) I thought the Drake was the better of the two, but (and again,
for *me* personally,) the ways *I* use a receiver, the Icom was 95% of
the Drake - at one-third the cost. I bought the Icom - I have not
regretted it for a moment.
