[Premium-Rx] SAIT MR-14501

[Karl-Arne Markström]

The Skanti R-5001 and the SAIT 14501 appears to be identical electrically, as described in Osterman.
I believe that the electronics was built in Denmark, and an OEM front panel with SAIT logo and lettering was fitted.
(the same was also made for SRT and Debeg by Skanti).

My impression of the R5000 family is that it is a quite good CW and AM performer.
The passive preselector and FET balanced mixer front end appear to handle strong adjacent-channel signals quite well.
Also, it has a reliability record second to none both in shipboard and fixed service.

The few problems I have heard about are leaky capacitors in the power supplies and in the synthesizer loop filters.
