I’ve got the JRC 545 got it 2005 and it still works brilliant one of the best radios I’ve had and I started in radios in the 70s thanks for the video the old man in Stoke

Имею в коллекции Icom: R2, R3, R5, RX7, R20, R75, R7100, R8500 и R8600. Каждый из них имеет свои преимущества, но на КВ чаще слушаю R75, отличный прием. 73!

What aor had you got

I've had many top receivers never used fm

I've had many top receivers never used fm

Had both the icr 75 and the 8500 kept the 75

Nice! Have an AOR5000 +3 (not an A) and an IC-R8500. Definitely keeping both even in the age of the SDR!

would have been nice if you didn't wait so long between radios.

couldn't you have compared on a short wave or Lower Side band channel?

Do you like the Alinco DX the Expensive one? 🇬🇧

XHDATA the best Tenks from Brazil

Those who are saying its legal or was legal to listen its nwver been legal to listen to anything othwr than amateur radio cb and genrral broadcast marine shopwatch even airbamd is jot legal to listen it is also illegal to use a scanner but legal to buy one thats how its always been. Ive had scanners since early 90s while i was at school yes i listened to everything but i nevwr repeated apart from to my dad what i heard

Did you ever find out more about it ? Does it cover CB

Wikipedia says, "In radio communication, a *transceiver* is an electronic device which is a combination of a radio transmitter and a receiver, hence the name." If all transceivers really can receive radio signals, why did they make Icom IC-R75 then? It can only receive signals. So, for whom is Icom IC-R75 actually? Is it used for serious shortwave lovers? Those are big questions in my mind as a regular person from Indonesia.

3:00 A true analog receiver!? Sorry I am a regular person who does not know much about radios. But, I see Icom IC R-75 does not make use any needles like old regular radio receivers. It uses numbers on its screen, like digital clocks in general. How can you say it is analog?

The best shortwave receiver on earth?

I bought the ic 705 for base and scope and you can use it for base or outside anywhere with hf vhf and uhf I'm a swl not an amateur I like the sdr functions are excellent love the s meter

i find my 8600 works better as an sdr.i use mine for fm dx in sdr mode because they have disabled the filters on wbfm

I wonder if this apparatus can receive signals from shortwave radio stations best of all shortwave receivers.

Would Sdr be better 🤔

So many memories watching this, My parents bought me one of these for Xmas as a kid.So much fun was had. How much would they cost these days??

Digital is great but disappointing on airband. The bleed-through I get on AM Airband is totally unacceptable for a £600 scanner. Just happens on AM.

And the 75 is capable of 1 hz resolution front panel

I still have my mvt-5000.still working perfectly. Used to have the base station mvt8000 back in the day also. Good scanners.

Always liked the look of them. Used to look at them and the other scanners in my local Tandy. I ended up with the cheaper realistic scanner from a second hand shop back in the day .

I still have my 2006 from when I bought it new in the 90s. It's special because few scanners are triple conversion IF and this is one of them. I also have the Opto electronics 456 computer interface board that I haven't installed yet, hospital 6 one day I will. The 2006 is also the most modded scanners ever made, due to the many ways to access the circuitry inside and Bill from San Diego did a great job publishing his mods in his books. So this is a classic model that was very special back when and very popular. The manufacturer GRE in Japan was well known for making good quality scanning receivers. The UI is indeed odd and if you haven't used it for a while you will forget how to program it. The EL can be replaced but it's a bit of work, unfortunately. It is also quite a fast scanner, so the ham radio or general receiver can't match that speed. (Today we have SDR so that's another era.)

I just bought one , getting it next week .

Hello. Am not sure what model Icom radios. Back in the 80’s, Icom loaded the radios firmware into ram, backed up by the lithium disc battery. When the battery died, the firmware was lost, thus, a trip to the service was needed. This was before nvram was the thing I guess. Have you ever encountered that issue with any older Icom? Btw, was wondering if you got rid of your 8600?

I've had two of the Road Devil mics for about thirty plus years. Keep a fresh battery in them and use a little "Air in a Can" to blow the dust out and One is good to go. Quality all around. Astatic is good equipment.

It fits your hand like a baseball. It's built to last in the US of A proudly. Best when used closely to the mouth. Thank you and have a lovely day. ✌️👍

IC-R75 noises and generally icom fries are an abomination of the Icom technique.

Could you test 250-420MHz with SDRplay RSP DX?? I had tried several RSP 1 clone,all of them seems deaf in 250-420MHz. I wanna to know if the genuine RSP DX perform well for this band,Thanks!!

Hello, Just mine out of the cupboard after a few years, it comes on with a struggle but won't scan or search anyone, have you got any ideas at all.

This ant port is theoretically meant to be used from 30 - 3000MHz, ideally ANT2 port should be used for LF - 30MHz. I think you'll find it works perfectly, just need to adapt whatever you have in the N type port to the SO239 port

Have you compared a 8200 to DV10?

I have the Icom IC-R75 and am very happy with it. However, I don't get to play with it very much. I think the IC-R8500 is a slightly older rig. The R8500 looks really nice and would look good in my shack, but like @eml3148 says below, I'll probably save my money. I still have to pay for my IC-R71A when it gets out of the repair shop. 73 Paul AA1SU

Nice review of the Icom IC-R75! 73 Paul AA1SU

Thanks for the quick look of the Icom IC-R71E. Waiting for mine to get out of the repair shop. 73 Paul AA1SU

I've had the Icom IC-R75 for several years now. I just picked up the Icom IC-R71A off of eBay a few days ago. The magic smoke came out on the 2nd nite. I have it at a friend's shop now being repaired. I really like what I heard before it blew. The R-8500 is probably out of my price range for now. 73 Paul AA1SU

good video!

I just got an Icom R-71A off of eBay last week. A capacitor blew up on the 2nd night and I let all the magic smoke out. However, I have a friend that says it's repairable. He's going to fix it in about a month. From what I heard, it sounded great! 73 Paul AA1SU

I have the Icom IC-R75. I don't get to play with it very much though. I spend too much time on FT8. ☺ 73 Paul AA1SU

Yupiteru is way better, you have more back ground noise on the 8200, 7200 sounds smoother 👍

Ha

That was a strong signal. So all the radios performed well. How about a test on a weak signal? BTW I had a Icom R70 was a good receiver when it worked. It was in the shop a lot getting fixed.

It's awesome, I want the rspduo but I'll get the hermes lite 2 tranceicer first. You are able to use a separate comuter volume control for the vfo, the programmable one. 🍻🤠

It's Medium Wave, presumably BBC Radio Wales. The correct frequency is 882 kHz, and needs to be on frequency for best performance.

I.t will be useless when they start slinging h bombs about
