Re: [IRCA] Drake R8

[Patrick Martin <mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Drake R8 series was probably the best MW receiver ever built. I am glad I spent the money back in 2011 to get mine repaired. I will probably have the R8 the rest of my life.  I am happy to hear that you will be getting R8 Bill.

With the quality of past Drake receivers such as the SPR-4 and R8 / R8A I'd really love to see them come out with a new communications receiver or even a...wait for it...Software Defined Receiver. Not that there aren't some great ones to choose from already. 73 ms
