Go for the icom R75....please don't waist your money on a yaesu VR5000 they
are the biggest load of S? i have ever owned.
when they were released i paid £700+ for one of them with the DSP unit
installed...all i will say is i only owned it for just six months and sold
it on at a loss.........
i then went out and paid almost 3k for another as i am one who only wants
the best and after buying the VR5000 i know why i am the way i am....short
wave radio magazine run an article on the VR5000
and to be honest they even said they are not worth buying.
in my opinion i can not understand yaesu why bring out a receiver
that is so bad well next to useless... they yaesu have a good reputation so
why bring out such a crap receiver...
i will look in my old copies of short wave magazines and if i can find the
review i will post it hear for you...
