Hi.

I am contemplating possibly buying the Icom R75 receiver and selling my old 
Drake R8A receiver.  My question is "does Icom make any provisions to use 
any other filter on AM than the stock 6kHz filter?  I often like to stick a 
tighter filter in when I am doing medium wave DXing.  Also, what are your 
impressions of the noise blanker.  Is the level adjustable?

The write up on Universal's web site looked pretty nice but then 
advertisements often tell a very different story than actual experience 
does.  I'm looking for some good critical feedback on how good or bad this 
receiver is.

Is it reasonably blind friendly?  Has anyone done computer control with it?

73, de Lou K2LKK
