FO&A,

QUESTION: So will RL Drake be coming out with a R8"D" Model
that has a 12 kHz IF Output for DRM Signal Processing on a PC ?

Hi folks!

Do you know if there has been any improvements or refinements to the R8B
since it was introduced? If so, approximately when did they take place?

Thanks,

The only 'official' change was the ability to tune down to 10-Khz,
however my newer R8B (2001) has fewer 'birdies' than my first one
(1997). They also changed the design of the FM detector circuit, which
is located on the top PC board. I also think the tuning knob encoders on
the recent R8B's are more reliable, possibly due to a change in the
lubricant inside the encoder assembly. That's all I can think of for
now.
