Hello:

Anyone care to compare the pros and cons of the
JRC NRD 545 (several years old by now) vs the new AR 5000 ?

Which would you get ?

Thanks,
Bob


They dont really compare, the 545 is much better on SW. The 5000 most
directly compares to the Icom R-8500.

If you want to go with a "DC to Light" type radio, I would pick the 8500
over the 5000, mostly for ease of use, and it is built like a tank.
