Mine works perfectly, and the tuner alignment is correct to within
2/100ths of a kilohertz. No complaints here.

I am glad that folks have given that mod a try. Not for the faint-hearted,
but it is worth it. If anyone has any questions about it, feel free to
e-mail me.

I know this radio has a great reputation for SW reception,

My question is how does it do on BCB MW reception ? ?

Is an external speaker really needed?

The reviews I read before purchase did not sing any praises for the
IC-R75s speaker so I had mine shipped directly to Kiwa for the
following mods:

--synchronous detector upgrade
--audio upgrade
--high fidelity audio filter
--R75 filter module

The sound is just fine, though for obvious reasons I can't compare it
now to what is would have sounded like.

The tiny speaker the R75 has can't sound very good. If you are going to
spend the money for those modifications then spend a little more and buy
an external speaker.

The Icom R75 does not have QC problems I'm aware of. It does have design
problems and is the reason people have the units modified.

I'll agree with this point. I am a mostly-nighttime (bedroom) SWL and as such,
I use headphones exclusively, regardless of which radio(s) I'm playing with on
any given night. But, the few times I have used my R75 without phones, I
immediately set up external speakers with some EQ to get it to sound full
enough to seem 'real'... and this even after I had all modifications and
enhancements done (mostly by me, including installing Kiwa's synch upgrade,
which I simply bought from them and installed myself)... the R75's a fine radio
with phones, or with decent outboard speakers. But the tiny, front-firing stock
speaker isn't full enough to do the rest of the radio justice.

TELAMON,

So had Icom come out with an R75A and R75B model like
the Drake R8A and R8B then it would be a good radio ?

IMHO: It's the R75's Mods that personalize the radio
and endears the R75 to it's owners.

Maybe R75K

K for Kenneth I figure.

I¹m not spending hundreds of dollars on a radio that must be modified
to work as advertised.
