\"Icom-R-75\"<\/a>I’ve learned through a couple of sources that the Icom IC-R75–which has been a staple tabletop shortwave receiver for 16 years–is being\u00a0discontinued by Icom. Here’s what Dave Zantow (N9EWO) announced on his website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Last Call” ICOM IC-R75 Table Top HF Receiver : Yes, it’s true and is not a misprint (news as from a solid reliable source) , Icom has discontinued the IC-R75 HF receiver. It had a great 16 year run on the market. I would NOT look for Icom to replace the model.\u00a0 As I type this entry most US Icom dealers had limited remaining stock. But you can count on those to get slurped up fast !! So if you ever desired a NEW sample, you MUST do that NOW !!<\/em><\/p>\n

Only a few weeks ago, in my presentation at the Winter SWL Fest<\/a>, I noted that the IC-R75’s days–as one of the last “legacy” tabletop receivers–were certainly numbered. Since the R75’s introduction, a lot of the receiver market has shifted to SDRs and SDR-based tabletops (like the CommRadio CR-1a<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The IC-R75 must have one of the longest runs (with various iterations) of any tabletop receiver ever on the market–most impressive!<\/p>\n

Universal Radio has a special package price of $619.98 for the IC-R75 which includes the DSP option and Joe Carr’s antenna book and free shipping. Click here to view on Universal Radio’s website.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
