Some welfare queens are loaded with more money than sense. And, if
you get one, you too can become a self-proclaimed "Ace".


But never a 'tard boy!

$2,000 for a 30 year old receiver???


Sure, 900+ for the R7, probably 900 for the RV75 and then, very rare is the adapter
that enables the RV75 to be used with the R7/A and one has a sweet set-up.

Good luck to all.

Perhaps you have no money, and then even more importantly, no sense.

You are doomed.

It's still a dated design that now contains 30 year old electronics.
When new it may have been a sweet setup but that was 1980. The
National HRO500 was a sweet setup when new in 1965, but it is long
past it's prime. As with the R7.


Good luck to all.

The R7/A is still a primo dx machine.

Even without BPL, the noise
level on my Kenwood R5000 with a 20 meter random wire antenna is already
at S9. It's not local, at night on 14mHz, the noise is around S3. As
the day progresses and signals come in from North America, so does
the noise. :-(



Are you *sure* the noise isn't local or are you just surmising this
from its tendency to coincide with signals from North America?
