Good morning. I finished building an XG2 last evening and used my Drake R7 and Orion II as the test beds for the XG2.
Results: The R7 receives the 1 micro volt signals on all three bands better than the Orion II (less RX noise and clearer tone). I did not do the SN calculations scientifically, but to my ear the R7 was the better RX. The R7 will be 30 years old next spring and has not been aligned since the 80s. I look forward to receiving my K3 in late January 2008.
