The R70 is a sweet radio. I'm not sure it's in NRD's league, but I wouldn't turn one down. grin


I had a Timewave DSP filter, it sucked, it made things all distorted and really clipped the audio. I made my own audio filter out of an old under dash car power booster with an 11-band equalizer ( I know I have too much time on my hands) but it works better then the Timewave piece of junk. I should buy a new DSP filter to see if they improved since I had the Timewave filter 4-years ago.

The R-70 has no filter adjustments, they are all pre set at the factory, but they knew what they were doing, as it works great. I’m going to keep this radio forever.


I’d like a new Icom R-75, but the one I have works so well it would be a just another toy.
