Walt,
That would be the issue with me, as I don't own an modern laptop. The
laptop I have is an old Toshiba Windows 95. The regular desktop is a
Windows XP though. But with the noise issue, I would need a laptop for a
receiver.

What can one add? AR 7030, fantastic receiver. Friend & radio buff, Rick
Sitz, loaned me his several years ago. Great dynamic range, pulls 'stations
between stations' better than other fine quality sets. Size perfect.

Yes, I have tried different things through the years. But there is alway
a catch. With the number of cows out there, if I did something and the
cows got out and a car hit one, they could come back to me. No thanks.
It is easier to fix the problem on my end. It is not a big issue any

Walt,
I was stuck in the stone age with receivers for years. In college I was
given an old EH Scott RBO2 made back in the 50s. I got the receiver in
68. It had a L/C set the filters, broad, medium, and sharp. No sideband,
just AM.The sharp cut it down to about 3 khz. OK for domestic DXing, but

Guy,
Thanks for your feedback on the SDR units. I had kind of wondered if the
technology of computer generated receivers could take care of certain
noise issues. It had crosssed my mind, but I never asked anyone about
them.

Unless the receiver has a good noise blanker, forget it. Plus I am so
spoiled these days with memories, quick frequency changing, etc. Bill
Block told me since buying his R8, he no longer uses his R390A much at
all. It takes way to long to tune from one end of the dial to the other.

Bob,
I really liked the SP 600 I had too, but without a noise blanker, it was
not fun to use a lot of the time. In about 1992, the neighbors put up
more electric fencing and I needed a receiver with a noise blanker.
Things changed. If they would not have, I probably would still be using
the SP 600
You should get one though Pat, I bet you'd like it.

Bob,
The only experience I have had with the 390A (none of the others), is
the one Bill Block has. I have had several boat anchors through the
years, the SP 600 JX17 was my last one, I bought from Hank Wilkinson in
the early 80s. Before that I had an old EH Scott (RBO2). Not a bad
receiver either,
Yes, same here.

Charlie,
That is my complaint with the R8 too. If the signal next door is too
strong, then the noise blanker shuts off. The SPR4 does not have that
issue. However, in the case of the SPR4, often if the clicking of the
fence to loud enough, the blanker will not totally remove the noise
100%. The R8

Bob,
Yes, I would like to loosen up those crystal filters in the SPR4 with a
phasing control. The 2.4 is just a bit too tight in many cases. It will
separate the signals very nicely. Easier in some cases than the L/C
filters in the R8, but the audio is too muffled at times, especially if

Bob,
I never knew that. Then the R-390 does have an honest Noise Blanker and
not a Noise Limiter as the SP 600 had. Now that is interesting. I wonder
what kind of circuit the R 390 uses? Anyone know? That diode set up in
the SP-600 never did anything much except distort the audio as you
mentioned.
