$400, I'l have to start shoping around

Is the Icom known as a good MW DX receiver? I never recall hearing
this
about it, but I haven't followed the reviews all that closely,
either.
I thought the Icom's strength was SW, and especially utilities.

To take full advantage of the R75, you'd need to
disable the MW attenuator. The Kiwa mods would
help as well. I'm not an R75 owner nor an E1
owner, but I imagine that others may have
both.
