Some of you may be bidding on this, but for those

believe will be an absolute record price for a Drkae
R7 -- incredible:

Ends in just under 2 hours.

Never met the reserve.

So how does your R7 perform compared to the R8 and R8B you
own?

There are times when the R7 is superior due to its 'true'
passband tuning. I never would have pulled Northern Cyprus in
on 6150 without it.

What filters do you use in the R7 for AM and SSB reception?

I have the 8, 6, 4, 3 and 2,3 kHz filters in it.

What modifications or options does your R7 have in it?

No mods, but does have the NB and the above filters.

Are the filters from Drake or from somewhere else?

All are Drake except the 3 kHz filter which is from Sherwood
Engineering though I'm certain he had those made up by someone
else.

Sorry to be pest but do you know what center frequency these
filters operate on? The R8 and R8B are around 50 KHz and if
they are Drake stock filters I was wondering if they were also
low frequency IF filters or something higher?

They are centered around 5.695 MHz or so as I recall.

Snip

That's pretty high. Thanks for all the answers you gave.

No problem. I've certainly been in Ventura before and I used to hang
out in Ojai many, many years ago.

How long ago was that? I have lived here since 1978 and the area has
changed a lot in that time.

Oh 1970, '71 or so, I was just getting my memory back then having survived the
60's.
