I really like the 6ES8 mixer/6GM6 front end conversion I did on my 75A4.
The only problem I encountered is that the RF gain is now significantly
higher resulting in overload on strong SSB signals. I can live with this by
reducing the RF gain control but somewhere down the line I will tackle this
problem. Apart from this, my 75A4 is an excellent performer in digging weak
ones out of the crud on CW and is sure a much more enjoyable receiver to
operate than the stock version.
