Is there a significant price premium for an R7A vs. an R7 in similar condition, and with similar options? 73 John KC0G |

Neither auction has much to say about the working condition. Is there a significant price premium for an R7A vs. an R7 in similar condition, and with similar options? Seems so, but I've always wondered why. Difference between the two is that the R7A came standard with the noise blanker, the 500 Hz CW filter and what is merely a wire across one position on the filter board that gave perhaps 6-9 KHz of selectivity in lieu of an actual crystal filter. I currently have an R7 with NB, 8, 6, 4, 3 and 2.3 KHz filters and the AUX7 board installed. |

I had wanted one of these for years, and, heck, they pop up only sporadically on the used market (...and this one had the full complement of filters). The one I acquired is a nice looking piece of gear: only one minor physical blemish to be seen. And I had a chance to give it a test run before buying. Eventually I'd like to get a 3.0 kHz filter popped into it (I believe Sherwood has 'em on offer) and perhaps ditch the 0.5. |

Let me know when you decide to replace the .5 as when you put in a voice bandwidth filter there is a lead or two (if you replace both CW filters) that needs to be cut. You'll like the 3 KHz Sherwood as the extra 700 Hz of audio over the stock 2.3 is very nice. |

Got the SE-3 for it as well, that was truly shortwave heaven. The PBT works amazingly well with the synch detector. DX Ace is correct, the 3 makes a nice audio improvement over the 2.3. |
