I have had the 75 and 800 with the same antenna on my radio bench and I
could find signals that were so under attack that the 75 was unable to do
anything with it. notch, PBT, whatever you wanted to engage, it was not
enough, 1/2 hour or a week later, the R75 didn't have enough weaponry to
get the job done.
I push the sync button on the 800, select the sideband I want and 3
seconds later, I had a very listenable signal. that is the repeat story of
the 800 vs 75.

for SWBC, there is NO contest. the sync on the 800 is undefeatable in 99%
of the challenges it takes on.......

the R75 is full of great OLD technology and it seems that many people are
caught up in that and can't move on.....

this is not a troll post, this is fact. I have had THREE 75's of different
configurations and always the same, great OLD technology can't take on

Hi there Mike!

I need to pick up an 800. I read so much about them in here and elsewhere
that it's piqued my interest in one. But I've been saving that next radio
buy for the Eton E1 if it ever gets released. Also, if the rig is any good,
prices on the 800 should drop and I can get both

Lucky
