Hiya...

I attempted the sync mod myself but I wound up breaking a pin off of the
stock Motorola chip that is part of the R-75's sync circuit. So, I sent it
to Kiwa. Since I had to send them the radio, I asked them to do the audio
upgrade for me also. Remarkably, they had the radio back to me in a week.

So... The R-75 can do what the Drake can including sound just as good as
an
AM radio with a simple, inexpensive and fully reversible mod, but the
Drake
can't do what the R-75 can.


Did you install the mods yourself, or did you send your R-75 to Kiwa mods
yourself? If you sent the unit off to Kiwa, how long did it take to get
it
back?
