Personally, I wouldn't bother with either. I'd save some more and get an R8B. I keep seeing them go for $1500+ on Fleabay, and I can't help but find it hard to believe they're really worth the extra $800-1000 it costs over an R8A from the same place. |

There are several refinements in the R8B that make a significant difference, plus it's probably one of the best modern investment radios on the market. Buy one, try it out for a few months, and if you don't fall in love with it (unlikely), you can always sell it for (probably) more than you paid! Geary |
