Keep the R-75...you will regret getting rid of it.

Heres your sat system for as cheap as 139$

Here's the deal. I've been reading up on and learning about FTA (free
to air) satellite. I am very interested in buying one of these systems,
but I don't have the disposable cash needed to do so. I do have an Icom
R75, and if I sold it for about $450, I'd have the money for the FTA
with just a little left over.
I have never actually seen one of these FTA systems in operation, so I
have no way of knowing if the trade-off would be worth it. I do own
several other shortwave radios, including two Sony 2010s and a Icom
R71A, so its not like I would be left without the means to enjoy the
SWL hobby.
If anyone of you have experience with FTA, perhaps you can offer some
pertinent advice.
Thank you.
