I agree on the R8s and especially the
R7/A -- but I have to say that when I am using my 301A it feels like I'm driving a Maserati... |

So does my Drake R7a with my Drake RV75 and Sherwood SE-3 Synch detector.
Very few can burn rubber like this setup. It does the quarter mile in low 10's. "Dan Robinson" wrote in message ... I agree on the R8s and especially the R7/A -- but I have to say that when I am using my 301A it feels like I'm driving a Maserati... |

Can I ask a dumb question? I'm looking over the specs and they don't seem
inordinately very good compared to other radios. What makes this radio so worth the price?. The SSB sensitivity is not as good as the radio I have. The selectivity seems to be better but with SW signals at least 5khz wide that wont make much difference if your sensitivity is not low enough. Does it have variable IF bandpass? Or variable audio filtering? Is it because of the tuning steps? 1 hz steps seems to be overkill. I mean what kind of reception warrants those kind of specs especially with mediocre sensitivity?

I think it's part performance, and part cosmetics...
it is a beautifully-designed radio... Brian O wrote: Can I ask a dumb question? I'm looking over the specs and they don't seem inordinately very good compared to other radios.

More than anything else it is a non-consumer radio, one designed for
the military, so it has the look that collectors like. And there were few of them made. Will it catch more stations that a reasonably priced tabletop? In one word - no. But collectors don't spend $6,000 on a radio because it will catch more stations than any other. On Mar 15, 8:45 pm, "Brian O" wrote: Can I ask a dumb question?

I guess a collector wouldn't. Looking at it from the point of a DXer/SWLer,
it doesn't make sense. The new Icom would seem to be a better receiver for the money, but I haven't used one as yet. I use my xcvr as my SW rxvr and it works quite well, at least when it has an antenna tied to it. B "Roadie" wrote in message oups.com...
