I was also thinking of either an Icom IC-R71 or Drake R8B as well. Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated. Denny Dollahon. It depends on what you want to do. If you are a program listener like me then it would be the Drake. The other two radios do not have sync detection, which is a great aid in AM broadcast reception. The R5000 is an OK radio for SSB and I think likewise for the ICOM but I have no experience with that radio. All three radios need a good outdoor antenna and outboard speaker to work and sound good so budget for those items. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
