believe it as he knows as a matter of his business how popular the r75
is.

i understand his reasoning but the r-75 has some nasty little warts
that need work before it's a good modern rcvr, hence craig's business.

but today, given an rf preamp chip, an analog devices adc, an fpga, a
coupla ti dsp processors, a coupla voltage regulator chips, and you
have a very high performance radio...ever open a ten-tec...there's
nothing inside. i'm sure icom is about to come out with a very modern
rcvr derived from the dsp based receivers in their new transceivers.

Problem is, that very 'modern' receiver will probably need to be modified to
work properly just like everyone of their offerings over the past 20+ years.
