I have been thinking about buying a tabletop receiver for shortwave.
I am mainly interested in tropical bands and 49 mb SW stations, not
interested in ham bands.

I have already got a Drake R8b but it is not good for DXing in these
bands.
I have been reading in some web pages that the Drake r7A perfoms very
well .
What is your opinion about buying a R7A or a similar receiver?
Of course I would sell the R8B first.
Any comments are wellcomed. Thanks


i think the aor 7030+ ia a good receiver am quailty is great also has a good
syc detector on there as well and of ssb is good all in all a good buy

I own both radios and I think the Drake R8B has an edge over the AR7030+
with side band selectable sync. They are both great radios.
