Comparing the Icom IC-R75 to the Eton E1 Radio - Three Major Problems . . .
 

Steve - The Reverse Point is Also True !

The Eton E1 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio is a Very Good
"Portable" Radio : But many 'radio experts' try to compare it to
a Desk Top Receiver like the Icom IC-R75 Receiver; simply
because they are in the same price range.

Saying that the Eton E1 Radio is lacking because it does not have :
DSP, Twin BPT, Noise Blanker, Automatic Noise Filter, Optional
Filters, ETC.

The Reality Is - That "By Design" the Icom IC-R75 Receiver is
a Desk Top Radio and NOT a 'portable' Radio; and should NOT
be expected to run off a Set of "D" Cell Batteries.

Yes -The Arguement was an Exercise in the Absurd
and I Would Guess by all the Replies - It Worked !

Jeff - Yes 'compare' a Desk Top Icom IC-R75 to a Drake R8*,
JRC NRD-545, Yaesu FRG-100, ETC.

Then "Compare" the Eton E1 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio
to the : Sony ICF-2010, Sangean ATS-909, Song ICF-SW77, ETC

Make "Valid" Comparisons and Keep It Practical and Real !
