WRONG!

It's kind of a cost-reduced R71, not as many features, but overall a
pretty nice set. It was panned by the critics because it was not a
bigger-better set than the R71 it replaced, but I had one and liked it.
Performance on par with an R75.

Did Mr. "pretty sucky" actually own one?


I would not buy a ''communications receiver'' without an RF Gain
control and defeatable AGC.
