But if you are open to other options, I'd look at a used Drake R8.
I had one, and feel they offer a lot of bang for the buck.
The R-8 is a good radio, performs well and does have lots of features.
The ergonomics IMHO leave a lot to be desired. I like to have all sorts
of knobs to "twiddle". And therefore have an R-5000.
If you prefer a more modern design, i.e all things are are set with
up/down or on/off buttons, then the R-8 is for you.

Carp are bottom feeders, koi are too, and not surprisingly are ferrets.
