No, I found the R8B to be a far superior radio.

That would be hard to do, 'tard boy, as you've drifted so far to the left. dxAce Michigan USA |

You wouldn't know 'Patriot Land' if it crawled up your drug addled ass and decided to spend the winter, 'tard boy. You'd better go back for another adjustment on your meds. dxAce Michigan USA |

R75 & R8B
First of all thank you to all that have read and or responded to my
post. Good reviews of radio caused me to buy one. R75 was delivered today. (UPS man ran into my wife and told her I bought a new radio. I'm glad I told her I got new radio before she mentioned it:-) I like it's size compared to the Drake R8B. I expect the future will even see smaller units with superior performance - I hope. Readout is easier on these old eyes than the Drake as well. Panel layout is nice. Performance is very good and many options to tame noise and lots of buttons to play with and tweak. The audio doesn't seem to be as clean as the Drake. There is for sure some distortion going on that I'll have to check out. I've been playing with a 5btv verticle and a 160m dipole for the antennas. I've got at least a half dozen antennas on the property, so I gotta get a couple of coax switches going on. I may have more to say later. I am newbie to high performance radio and to tell the truth mostly run Hammarlund SP600 and Racal RA17L type boatanchors. I recently had to sell the SP600 to buy the Drake. The Racal is actaully a smokin good unit with an amazing front end. So if you have some advice or tests I should try on makng comparisons to Drake then I am all ears. bye, Bob |

There is for sure some distortion going on that I'll have to check out. Are you using the onboard speaker versus an external one? In almost all cases, an external speaker works much better, and you can also play with a better a/b comparison by moving the speaker's terminals between two radios.
