Equipment / ICOM IC-R75. Any good?

« on: December 19, 2015, 0552 UTC »

Does anyone own one of these? How are they?
My second vintage (ah, affordable) receiver is getting ready
to kick the bucket. I learned my lesson when my first
"older" receiver broke down and I had it repaired only to have
something else break down 6 months later. It's time to bite the
bullet and buy a brand new receiver. I like what I've read about the R-75.
Would love some feedback. Thanks.
