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?
