Errrr....ummmm......yeah.......no ground radial antenna.What that really means is that you do not need to rob a bank to pay for all the copper to plant under it in order to obtain a good match on all bands.Even with the "radials" it comes with,being only about four feet long, you will see some impedance changes with varying ground conductivity especially on the lower bands. Speaking of the lower bands,I forgot that the R6000 was meant for only 20m and up. When you mentioned using it on 75m I thought it was meant to cover that band and that is where you were noticing the biggest change in SWR.
