If Drake doesn't come back into the shortwave market with an R9 or something like that, then I suspect you'll be surprised at what used R8Bs will sell for five or six years from now. Steve |

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. Shortwave is a dying hobby, there is no doubt about that. With the FCC giving the green light to BPL, and the movment of people away from radio in general, the demand will continue to drop. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

I agree that BPL does not bode well for the future. At the same time, I'm not convinced...at least not yet...that BPL will compete successfully against the other sources of broadband access out there. Let's hope that it doesn't. |
