Do I detect the beginnings of a class action lawsuit?

Why not just a petition with a lot of names? With all the R75 and R5
owners? Could Icom ignore that?


Y'know, when ICOM does well, they usually do VERY well. When they do
poorly, they produce the R1 and the R75.

Unfortunately, one thing they always do is handle criticism *very*
poorly. Especially ICOM America.

I wonder if Mr. Inoue (sp!) knows what is being done in his name over
here?

What am I hearing? According to most R75 owners, it's the best receiver on
the planet and with only a few hundred small Kiwa mods, is superior to the
R-390. Is this not true?

Heh. Cast "summon phil spell" roll...

I *was* an R75 owner. Great value? Yep. Very good performer? You
bet. Without terrible weaknesses? Nope.

That said, I own several R8500s and think they are terribly underrated
by the radio community. I certainly prefer them to the '75.
