Ends in just under 2 hours.

Never met the reserve.

So how does your R7 perform compared to the R8 and R8B you own?

There are times when the R7 is superior due to its 'true'
passband tuning. I never would have pulled Northern Cyprus in on
6150 without it.

What filters do you use in the R7 for AM and SSB reception?

I have the 8, 6, 4, 3 and 2,3 kHz filters in it.

What modifications or options does your R7 have in it?

No mods, but does have the NB and the above filters.

Are the filters from Drake or from somewhere else?

All are Drake except the 3 kHz filter which is from Sherwood
Engineering though I'm certain he had those made up by someone else.

Sorry to be pest but do you know what center frequency these
filters operate on? The R8 and R8B are around 50 KHz and if they
are Drake stock filters I was wondering if they were also low
frequency IF filters or something higher?

They are centered around 5.695 MHz or so as I recall.

That's pretty high. Thanks for all the answers you gave.

No problem. I've certainly been in Ventura before and I used to hang out in Ojai
many, many years ago.
