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

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.

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.

to work as advertised.
For example a ten-tec RX-340? This one have some flaws too and cost
$3,950.The sync selectable sideband lose look relatively
easily,Passport recomend an external Sherwood SE-3 [500.00],poor
dynamic range,static crashes sound harsher than on analog
receivers.Spurious signal noted around 6MHZ segment,notch filter does
not work in AM,Sync selectable sideband or ISB modes,Noise blanker not
effective ect, ect, ect,.What about a Drake R8B? Cost $1,495, This
one have a lot of flaws too,for example the power supply run very
hot,[a remedy is to use an external power supply],bassy sound
"virtually requieres a outboard speaker" [Passport],a cheap mechanical
encoder used to have an above -average failure rate [Why not an
optical one like in the AOR 7030+],a lot of birdies and background
hiss [from the syntetiser board and some Poor shielding and grounding
techniques ect ect ect.....My R75 cost only $450.00 with free DSP
included.It have installed 2.4khz,3.3khz,6khz filters, Pete's
sensitivity mod,339 comparator sync mod,Phidelity mod all this mods
for less than $50.00 and not only "work as advertised" but work better
than a R8B [and others expensive receivers] for dxing.
The Icom R75 does not have QC problems I'm aware of. It does have design

Here we go : )
