Not much. Kenwood R-5000s which IMHO is as good as or better than an R8,
sell for $250-$500 depending upon condition and options. A new in the box
RB will probably sell for $3,000, but a used one will be in the $500
range, possibly less.

If the R-5000 was as good or better than an R8 I'd still own one.

dxAce - I tried to send you a file on that Racal radio I am interested
in. Your email wouldn't receive. My email should be good if you want
to send me a note and I will reply and send file to you.
