I've owned both a FRG7 and a Drake R8B and they are in a different class
altogether.

These are 'value for money' reviews, not objective performance reviews. See
the Sangean ATS808 outvalues both with a 5 average rating but we know that
it would be far below the R8B in performance. Since anybody can submit a
review, the whole rating system is suspect but one would hope that the more
reviews submitted the closer the average will reflect popular opinion.
Comparing these average 'value ratings' for receivers in the same price
class might be significant but, even then, a spread of 0.2 (4.8 vs 4.6) is
not, even with a very large number of reviews. There are only around 20 for
each.
