I got duped, and it's my own fault. I bought a Grundig S350 because the
Grundig name was on it. Somehow I missed the Eton part on it as well.
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?


Prepare for your second disappointment.

Specs do not tell the whole story. Try to get your hands on a unit
before you plunk down cash.

If you want some good input on this radio then tell us what kind of
listening you want to do.
