Hello Gentlemen,

Due to life changes, different interests and the wife=3Fs request, I am
thinking of thinning down my collection of radios. I say thinning
because I need to keep something just in case interests ever come back
to me. I=3Fm still really struggling over which to sell between the
Drake or the JRC. Both these rigs are king in their own right. It=3Fs
so hard to pick one over the other. Maybe you guys can help me.
What=3Fs really hard is coming up with a price for all these too. In
the end I would like to keep one desktop and one portable.

Drake R7A =3F like new

installed)

=3F MS4 Speaker
=3F Full set of factory manuals including service manual
=3F New blue LED light retrofit. No more incandescent bulbs to burn out
=3F Fully serviced by Drake just before they shut down this service
=3F Drake RV75 VFO with all cables and boxes plus manual

JRC NRD-515 =3F like new

=3F Bournes 10-Turn Pot mod by Gilfer
=3F Sherwood modified for SE-3 compatibility
=3F NDH-518 96 channel memory unit

Hi John,

I would personally keep the NRD, but the R7A is a great radio too, but
not nearly as pleasant to use as the JRC is. I had to sell some of my
toys recently due to finances, but I still hung onto my 515. I just got
offered a lot of money for it, and I might just bite. With all the stuff
you have with it, as a "set" it would probably go for over $2K.
