Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for their
comments on the ICOM R71A and Kenwood R-5000. The gist of
it is that the ICOM is a slightly more professional receiver,
but the Kenwood is without doubt, better in terms of audio
quality. Also, the service of Kenwood left a lot to be
desired (very long response times) and many swore they
wouldn't buy another item from Kenwood.
