only works up at MHz. I am thinking, that with the high S/N, it looks
like
the owner of this radio sold the R7A face plate to somebody and installed
an
R7 faceplate on this radio before he moved it out.
I played a little bit with the R8...........now I see why everybody likes
it
so much. I think I will modify it so the preamp works on all ranges, that
is, after I remove that pesky MW attenuator. Nice receivers.

I just saw a message on the Drake reflector wondering about a possible
change
due to the serial number. Thought it must be an R7A vs. an R7.

Name Dan, by any chance?
