I just purchased a like new Alinco DX-R8T on Ebay and boy, am I impressed! Switching between my Icom R-75 and the Alinco with the same antenna, the difference in the signal strength and noise floor was amazing. Of course my Icom is over 15 years old now but I was still impressed with the better noise floor of the Alinco. The R-75 has been my main goto receiver but I think the Alinco may take that spot. If anyone has been thinking about buying one, do it! You won't be disappointed.
