Icom R75 with all the Kiwa mods, including the complete attenuation

is roughly equal to Drake R8B in both SW AND MW performance.

True or false?

False.

I have used both radios and have found the R8B to be superior in all
respects.

DX Ace [N8KDV],

Having 'said' your Say.

What would you say was the 'Best Value for the Money' the
Drake R8B or the Icom IC-R75 for a Shortwave Listener (SWL)
moving up from a 'portable' AM/FM/Shortwave Radio to a Desk
Top LW/MW/Shortwave Receiver.

[ ] Drake R8B

[XX ] Icom IC-R75 (R-75) with Kiwa Mods.

One or the 'other' Only Please ~ RHF


Better value, not better receiver.
