I am running Drake R8B and am thinking about buying the ICOM R75. Does
anybody here own both and could you comment? I think I can probably
still get one for 600 from HRO or Universal.

$600's too much isn't it? Ask HRO about promotional deals, etc.
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I have both. The R-75 works pretty darn well. I put my SW-2 on the
dhelf for a while and the R-75 is my bedside AM radio now. Works real
well on AMDX if you use SSB mode. DSP, AM Sync useless. But for $500
or so it's a well-built and decent performer.
