I have been thinking about buying a tabletop receiver for shortwave.
I am mainly interested in tropical bands and 49 mb SW stations, not
interested in ham bands.

I have already got a Drake R8b but it is not good for DXing in these
bands.
I have been reading in some web pages that the Drake r7A perfoms very
well .
What is your opinion about buying a R7A or a similar receiver?
Of course I would sell the R8B first.
Any comments are wellcomed. Thanks
