I have to do those R75 mods someday. When there's more
time..............................it will be interesting to see how it sounds into its "large front mounted speaker". Overall, it's a great receiver once you remove that MW attenuator, but so is the FRG100. Actually, they are both cool receivers (I have both of them). That 60MHz coverage of the R75 is good. An interesting thing about both of the receivers is that they have an internal I.F. gain control, so people like me can turn it all the way up! Pete "starman" wrote in message ...

It certainly works better, but compared to the sync' on some other receivers, it's nothing to brag about. I'm not bragging, and I'm well aware of the differing opinions about the Icom synch. circuit. I find it funny that no one can ever recommend or sometimes even mention the R75 without somebody having to point out the synch. flaws and other long-argued bones of contention about that particular radio. The original post asked if there was anything the FRG100 couldn't do that the R75 could, and I was explaining why I chose NOT to buy a Yaesu FRG100. Neither radio is for everyone, and each has their definite weaknesses. For my listening habits, the weakness was greater in the Yaesu unit. Linus I wasn't directing the 'brag' comment specifically at you. It's just a figure of speech. I almost said it's nothing to write home about. My point is that even with the mod', the R75 sync' falls far short of some other receivers. That could be an important point to some prospective R75 owners. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
