That's true. Images, birdies, artifacts, intermodulation products --
it's all there.

The R-75 is dumpster fodder. Value? yep. Value for money? yep.
Absolutely a good value? Not even close.

You need to experience a truly good radio. See
http://www.sherweng.com for some guidelines.


Let me get this straight..... "Dumpster Fodder ???" Your getting carried
away....

Personally, I wouldn't even have one around for use as a doorstop.


Yes... I understand your reasoning here. In your case having an R-75 to
use as a doorstop would be redundant. You've already got you head to act in
that capacity. And, it is far better suited to the task.

Keep trying 'tard, and I'll keep laughing!

For the category of SWBC listening and DXing, the satellit 800 is a far
superior product, really there is no comparison

1) better sound
2) better selectivity in the stock versions
3) FAR better sync detector, even if it is a fixed version !



Your saying the Sat 800 is a better radio then the R-75 for DX'ing ???

''Listener fatigue'' is a factor in some kinds of DXing.

Recommend a better radio that will have a PRACTICAL improvement over an R-75
without spending over $ 1,000.00 Please dont spit out specs that hardly
differ from that of the R-75 and are not statistically significant
PRACTICALLY speaking.

Tell me what radio NEW out of the box will give me a PRACTICAL improvement
on my R-75 for under $1,000.00 and I'll buy it this week. Remember, this is
for DX'ing. I dont want a boom box.

Michael




Can you list the radios that fall in the $500-$1000 price range the
might be candidates for comparison? They would have to be generally
available within the US.

The radios in the list I'm asking for don't have to meet your "PRACTICAL
improvement" criteria.

What does "statistically significant PRACTICALLY speaking" mean?

If you think Sherwood Engineering is drivel then you are far more stupid than
I've been led to believe, 'tard boy.

Other then a few computer controlled alternatives, there are no other
choices other then the R-75. That's the larger point.

Meaning exactly as stated. Here is an example:

The Drake R-8 was tested to have a sensitivity of 0.25 and 0.18 with the pre
amp on.

The R-75 was tested to have a sensitivy of 0.5 and .02 with the first level
pre amp on

The Kenwood R-5000 was tested to have a sensitivity of .02

The NRD-525 was tested to have a sensitivity of .02

OK, what do you say ???? You can see what receiver gets the better test
numbers here. Think it matters PRACTICALLY speaking given what typical
noise floors are ??? Would you feel it was worth it to spend a few thousand
dollars to get that extra decimal ??? This applies equally to other values.

Do you understand my point yet ????
