Had Scott Malcom of Colville Washington install cap mods for a.g.c., audio, and
sync functions on my R-75 last year! They greatly improved performance on all
levels, although sync works better on medium wave than shortwave (e.c.s.s. is
the way to go, if needed, on shortwave)! Purchasing ICOM's R-75 is akin to
buying a Marshall amp stocked with Utah speakers! Ya just gotta spend a few
extra bucks and reload with Celestions or Electro Voices (sorry Eminence fans,
haven't experienced those drivers yet) to unleash its' full potential!
