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
[ ] Icom IC-R75 (R-75) with Kiwa Mods.
One or the 'other' Only Please ~ RHF
Why the R8B of course. If one is going to move up, then by all means move
up in
style.
DX Ace,
Style is Good.

Technically Better is Good.
But the Question was:
"What would you say was the 'Best Value for the Money' ?"
[ ] Drake R8B
[ ] Icom IC-R75 (R-75) with Kiwa Mods.

That's easy. The Drake is the 'best value' for me because it
works out of the box. I like playing with antennas but I don't
want to work on my radio and I do not consider the performance
of the R-75 good enough out of the box.
Styling on the great audio from my R8B.
TELAMON,
Thank You for a your Answer and Thoughts as to 'why' you consider
the Drake R8B the "Best Value for the Money".
