Icom R75 with all the Kiwa mods, including the complete attenuation removal

True or false?

Please note that this is not an attempt to start a flamefest. Ideally I'd

There is a reason the Drake R8B has near legend in status, and no
amount of tinkering with a lesser receiver will make it equal. However
the difference are not things that most people are every likely to
hear, in the lab they can be measured, they can rarely be heard.
