[Premium-Rx] RACAL RA6790/GM - opinions?

[Bob Milne]

Hi Art,

Stability is superb and sensitivity is adequate. Stock 3.2 kHz filter
is a little too wide for SSB listening in crowded bands. Audio is
greatly improved by adding the Sherwood SE-3 synchronous AM detector.
Aside from the backup battery leakage problem and the display bulbs
burning out, the biggest drawback (to me) is the lack of 100 Hz tuning
steps. 

Regards....
....Bob
