[Collins] Suggestion of best 75A receiver for AM reception

[Glen Zook]

Many consider the 75A-1 to be the best for AM reception.  To me, it is a "toss up" between the 75A-1 and 75A-2.  The 75A-3, like the 75A-4, has a mechanical filter and that definitely "narrows" the response.
I do have an 8 kHz filter in my 75A-4 and that does help with AM.  However, the 75A-1 and 75A-2 are still better.  By the way, I do have all 4 of the "A" line receivers:  75A-1, 75A-2, 75A-3, and 75A-4. Glen, K9STH

  Which of the Collins 75A1, 75A2, 75A3 and 75A4 communications receivers is the "best" station receiver for amplitude modulated amateur radio reception? Is there a commonly accepted conclusion held among Collins receiver owners? The narrower bandpass of the 75A4 receiver might give it a negative for AM reception and an advantage for SSB reception??
This is a serious request for input and your input based on personal knowledge and experience will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
