have any use for the big Drake (I still use my SW2 for BCBDX).


Forget what the other posters wrote and sell me your Drake R8B. The only
condition is that you stop posting in this news group. What's your price?

Telamon might be close enough to that box canyon he can drive over there
in a couple of hours and check that Drake out.

Hello

I have a Drake r8b and I would not mind to sell it. Why?
Listening strong and medium stations its great and listening to the music it is wonderful. But the problem starts when listening weak signal, I cannot understand a single word because the audio it is too bassy and words sound almost distorted. So, I cannot do DX.

I have tried with different headphones and the tone control fully clockwise with no results. Maybe I would need a speaker that can put out the highs, a Kenwood sp-31 or similar.
I have read that audio filter could solve the problem, Datong FL3 or a timewave device could help.

Yes, I sent it to Drake R.L. in orderto have it aligned, checked sensitivity and voltage levels........... and it works perfectly.

I will wait until next year since AOR it is going to release its AR7070 DSP.

Thank you very much, any comments are very wellcomed.

Either the radio has a problem or you are doing something wrong with the radio.
