Yes, HF Guy and Telemon, you guys hit the nail on the head. The sync on
the R8B is the best.

The SW2 has a good one too.


The SW8 was the first Drake to have the SSB (selectable side-band) sync'
detector which was later used on the SW2 and R8B. The DSB (double
side-band) sync' on the original R8 did not stay locked as well as the
'B' version. I don't know about the R8-'A' DSB sync' since I never had
that model.
