I am considering the Icom R75 and Sony SW77. I like to listen to hams
and shortwave broadcasts. I will only be using the radio at home. I
currently have the Sony 7600GR. Tuning hams is too tedious with the
7600GR. Can anyone compare the R75 and SW77?

I own both. The SW-77 is a good portable, but the R75's ability to dig out
utility and amateur signals seems to make it a much better choice.

I have an R-75, and tuning across the ham bands brings dozens of
clear signals - the Icom makes it easy to tune them, also, and the twin
PBT and notch filter are also a great help in that area.
