Folks,
I'm giving serious consideration to one of these radios. I've read all the
great reviews (and everything else I could find for both of them). What I'm
trying to figure out is: Which one will be able to pull in more
Non-Directional Beacons?
The R-75 with a narrow CW filter (or two) OR The R30 with the Collins
filters?

Any help or opinions would be appreciated,

Good DX,

Al

Having owned both, the R-75 is your better choice. That 2.5 kc mechanical
filter isn't as good as a cw filter for beacon work.
