Exchanged for Icom r75. Comparing a pinto (Eton) to Mercedes (R75).
I use it as the receiver for my ham radio. Hope this helps. KE5LDO





Actually, R75 would be more like a Camry.

A Cadillac Escalade would be a Drake R8B.

A Lexus would be a JRC.

A Mercedes would be the Rohde and Schwartz.

And the Eton?

That would be a Renault 18i.
