Hi,

I have a Drake R8, still works, had it a long time.

I've searched around some and have not seen any shortwaves
out there that have all the features this old tank has.

Does anybody know what is comparable to the R8 ?

If you have not used one of these here are a few features...
filters .5, 1.8, 2.3, 4, 6 khz
cw,rtty,lsb,usb,am,fm
AM syncro
audio tone& notch
squelch, passband
tuning 10, 100, 1000 hz digital
AGC fast,slow
on off timer
dual antenna
auto scan
100 memory

thx

Harry


This has all the features you list and way more. About $2,000 will get
you a radio better than a TenTec RX340; better than a WJ-1000, and 20
years better than an R8. You can save a couple bills by putting it
together yourself.
