This guy is whacked. The audio from the RX-340 is nothing short of
excellent AM or SSB. The audio is not better on the 7030+ than the
RX-340 although both are excellent.

He's wrong about the sync losing lock on weak signals too. The RX-340
has no problem locking on weak signals. But there is an issue with the
radio losing lock on a signal strong or weak depending on the speed of
fading and if the fading is deep enough. Deep rapid fades confound the
combo analog / digital AGC system causing the radio to lose lock.

Indeed an interesting test. Icom makes some outstanding receiver sections.
My 746pro is easily the best radio I have ever owned with its IF DSP,
preamps and notch filters. They do not get much better. The rig has good
audio with the internal speaker and it gets even better with a nice external
speaker.

I have heard nothing but good things about the R75 and if anyone is
considering a solid high quality SWL radio I would surely recommend it. If
you want to step up to more receiver features and potentially an Amateur
license, grab a late serial number 746pro. The bang for the buck on these
radios is unmatched. 73,
