Hi Gang,
I have a question. In a very weal moment, I picked up a "almost mint" Icom R 71 A from Epay to use in my shop as I did not want to put my new R 75A out there.
Well, I got it today and granted it was cheap but this thing is the most deaf & howling receiver I have ever heard. The volume has to be almost al the way up to hear audio and then it howls. What signals it does hear ( when they are really 40 over) are distorted and raspy. Even AM is a joke.
Before I decide to more or less trash it, has anyone ran into this before?
Thanks,
William J. Diamond (Bill)
