I have both (my R-75 is unmodified). They seem about equal, with
maybe a slight tip to the ICOM for UTE and tough signal DX. The Drake has the more listener-friendly features for plain old program listening. Bottom line: If you can only afford 1 radio and listen to SWBC and MW a lot, get the Drake. If you lean toward UTE, Digital Modes and tough signal DX get the ICOM.

True or false? Please note that this is not an attempt to start a flamefest. Ideally I'd like to have an opinion from folks who run or have run both machines side by side. Cheers, MvBB Roughly true but it still tips the balance in favor of the R8B if you are a program listener more than a SSB/utility listener. -----= 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! =----- |
