Oh well, perhaps at some time they will again re-enter the market.

Yep, it sure is. No mention of shortwave. I do hope they eventually
decide to make a new receiver.

I also noticed that their product support page
(http://www.rldrake.com/tech/producthelp.html) contains a reference to
an R8E receiver. Any idea what that refers to? If you scroll down the
list, you'll see it immediately following the R8, R8A, etc.

It was made for the European market and is an R8 sans some particular frequency
range. It was made for the German market, and the regulation which forced the
reduction has since been changed.
