It is remarkably underwhelming. So now I'm looking for something more
substantial. The ICOM IC-R75 looks like a decent unit, at least judging
by specs. Before I plunk down the cash, can someone with experience
with the ICOM IC-R75 comment on it's performance?

Thanks,

R-75 is a great receiver; Incredibly sensitive' 2 pre amps, etc.

but unless you're listening to utilities / Comms from across the
world,
and are not interested in proigram listening; - due to the audio
sounding somewht muffled,

widen your net to other dual reduction digital receivers
