They stilll make the IC-718. Its the same price with a 100 watt
transmitter thrown in.

LUCKY,

I have an Icom IC-R75 with the Kiwa Mods and like it very much.
.
For the a Shortwave Receiver in the $500-$750 Price Range it
has many good features; performs really well; and is a very
good value for the Money.
.
IMHO - If the replacement for the Icom IC-R75 is a better radio
and still priced in the $500-$750 range it should sell very well.
.
However, if the replacement is in the $1000-$1500 range. Then
I would have to consider a Drake or JRC as being the better
vakue for that much money.
