Icom R75 with all the Kiwa mods, including the complete attenuation removal
is roughly equal to Drake R8B in both SW AND MW performance.

True or false?

False.

I have used both radios and have found the R8B to be superior in all respects.

DX Ace [N8KDV],

Having 'said' your Say.

What would you say was the 'Best Value for the Money' the
Drake R8B or the Icom IC-R75 for a Shortwave Listener (SWL)
moving up from a 'portable' AM/FM/Shortwave Radio to a Desk
Top LW/MW/Shortwave Receiver.

[ ] Drake R8B

[ ] Icom IC-R75 (R-75) with Kiwa Mods.

One or the 'other' Only Please ~ RHF

Why the R8B of course. If one is going to move up, then by all means move up in
style.

DX Ace,

Style is Good.
-&-
Technically Better is Good.

But the Question was:
"What would you say was the 'Best Value for the Money' ?"

[ ] Drake R8B

[ ] Icom IC-R75 (R-75) with Kiwa Mods.

How many times are you going to ask me the same question?

Do you think I'll answer any differently?

There is some kind of poetic satisfaction in watching that interchange!

LOL!

And even if he did, would he listen to them? I seem to recall him complaining
about the time I spend listening to mine so I'm not so sure he's really
interested in shortwave, or whether he just likes hanging out here.

The only two things Mikey knows about are being nasty and Trolling. He
has complained about you spending to much time listening to SW and has
belittled some of your reception reports clearly show he does not care
about the hobby. The radios listed in his BS signature means nothing as
does the BS logs he stole or made up in the now distant past.

His only other talent is starting off topic threads with news URL's like
any of us could not find them if we wanted.

Now that is in Mikey's words "is truly pathetic."

MWB,

"There is some kind of poetic satisfaction in watching that interchange!"

MWB - Somehow I thought that you would be Amused )

All I Asked was a 'simple' straight forward Question of DX Ace [N8KDV]:
"What would you say was the 'Best Value for the Money' ?"

Focused a matter of personal Judgement: 'Best Value for the Money'.

With two Mutually Exclusive Options as Answers:

[ ] The "Drake R8B" is the 'Best Value for the Money'.

[ ] The "Icom IC-R75" with Kiwa Mods is the 'Best Value for the Money'.


TBL: To "Summarize" and put it 'all' in One Sentence:
The _______________ is the 'Best Value for the Money'.
