The R8 and R8E are the same, the "E" denoting the European version
that had
certain frequencies blocked.
The R8 is a fine radio but a bit dated by today's standards, but if
you pick
one up at a good price you will be very satisfied.
Dated in a relative sense; there were some tweaks
between the R8 and R8A, but unless you really
want the improved ergonomics of the A, you can
do just fine with a regular R8. Ace acquired an
A about a half a year ago, and he didn't notice
too much of a difference between it and his regular
R8. (Did I get that right, Ace?)
No, and I sold it, do wonder sometimes why I did that though! Still operating
the R7, R8 and R8B.
