Hello all, I began shortwave listening late last year. I started out with a portable Shortwave radio (Tecsun Pl-600) added a long wire, and enjoyed what I could pick up. I've decided to upgrade to a tabletop. I've been wanting a R75 for awhile now, but don't really want to spend so much. On the other hand, the Icom R71a looks like it might receive just as good. Also has USB, LSB, CW, AM, and RTTY modes.
So basically, I want to save some money here. Is the R71a just as good for what I'm looking for in the R75? I'm a DXer, I want those hard to get signals, would the R71a do it for me?
Help me out here guys, most of you know more about this than me. Compare and contrast the two for me.
Thanks, 73
