Hello Gentlemen,
Due to life changes, different interests and the wife=3Fs request, I am
thinking of thinning down my collection of radios. I say thinning
because I need to keep something just in case interests ever come back
to me. I=3Fm still really struggling over which to sell between the
Drake or the JRC. Both these rigs are king in their own right. It=3Fs
so hard to pick one over the other. Maybe you guys can help me.
What=3Fs really hard is coming up with a price for all these too. In
the end I would like to keep one desktop and one portable.
Hi John,
I would personally keep the NRD, but the R7A is a great radio too, but
not nearly as pleasant to use as the JRC is. I had to sell some of my
toys recently due to finances, but I still hung onto my 515. I just got
offered a lot of money for it, and I might just bite. With all the stuff
you have with it, as a "set" it would probably go for over $2K.
John. I'm with BDK on this one. both are great receivers. the R7A should
pull in at the least $1.5K to $2.0K. market is solid on the Drake. the
515 is a real classic. less made than the Drake. the JRC, with the
extras, and the SE3 should bring up to $2.5K to maybe $3.0K. i just saw
the keyboard and controller go for $650.00 last month on ebay. SE3's
go for 4 to $550.00 all the time. i, myself like the 515. got 2 here,
one box stock, other with all the mods. i would hate to have to part
with either one. always hard to let a receiver go. and, looking down
the road, if you let one go, you may never get another. people hang
on to both of these. back in the day, i let a JRC 505 go, and have
been looking for another for way too long. so, do you really need that
second car? just my 2 cents.
