Other then a few computer controlled alternatives, there are no other

Well, there's the Palstar R30C and R30CC:

Under $ 1,000 but still more then the R-75. I think they sell for about $
650.00. I looked into this radio not too long ago. Obviously, there is a
lack of interface features. Worse then that, ECSS tuning for DX'ing could
be a bit problematic due to it's 20 Hz minumum tuning incraments. That will
absolutely NOT due. Not even for $300.00 brand new. I'd take the R-75
over this ANY day of the week even if the Palstar wasn't more expensive.
