Been contemplating on getting a R-75 and have done a lot of reading about
the R-75's lousy AM audio, my question is...what is it that makes it so poor
on AM....bad choice of filters by Icom or lack of something?
By contrast, I have an Icom 718 that has real nice audio on AM and SSB.

It looks to me that that the radio was designed to be a good SSB
receiver and the AM was an after thought. It can work well for AM as
long as you don't care about audio fidelity. This is not a broadcast
listeners radio.
