[Lowfer] Icom R-75 Specs

[Bill Ashlock]

Peter,

I have not read John Reed's performance test of the R-75 in the Lowdown but I have two R-75s that get a lot of use below 200K and am totally surprised by these negative comments! I think there are a lot of us that would like to see what John would suggestion for a receiver with more bang for the buck at this or any other part of the spectrum.

> Latest LOWDOWN has John Reeds' "performance Test of the R-75." It's brief but of importance he highlights the internal noise generated and claimed due to modern automated assembly means. He says that may explain the "internally generated spurs" that make it "poor" for use below 200KHz.
