Drake R8B or Japanese Radio NRD-545?
OK, has anyone owned both thwe Drake R8B and the NRD-545?
I am trying to decide on which model is better. I will be using it mostly for
the utility bands (GOV. aircraft, etc.) I owned a Drake R8 before and liked it
as a receiver but was very dissapointed in the cheap (thin) case and the cheap
plastic tuning knob.
the NRD-545 looks like it has a more solid case but then Passport gave the
Drake R8B a little bit better rating then the NRDS-545. So which one?
Also, can I asume that either of the above radios will give me better
performance then my Icom R-75 that is, as we speak, having the Mods. done by
Kiwa?
Thank you so much for any input anyone has.
Jake
