Get a netbook and a USB dongle sound card and a wideband black box running some kind of SDR. You can use any skin you like. Rickmers, did your dongle get cut off? Sure seems like it, as you are a dumbass 'tard girl! |

Had you actually taken the time to read the specs, you f00kin moron, you'd have discovered that it has an LED readout, 'tard boy.

But overall...they're about the same. Kind of like the difference between R71, and R5000. The ICOM and Kenwood had different strengths, different weaknesses, but were, when all was said and done, equivalent products. |

It was/is more flexible than the R7, but overall, if I had to choose, I'd take the R7 just for its flexibility and IF shift, and, for its IF notch filter versus an audio notch. I still like the Sherwood 3 kHz filter that I have in the R7. When I got back into DX'ing in 81-82 I really liked the Yaesu FRG-7700 which opened up a whole new world. digital readout, park on the frequency and they were either there or not. That, and the recording/timer function and I could listen while I was sleeping. Got my first R7 in 1984 or so, and the R5000 around '89 or '90 if I recall. And when the R8 came out I got that in '91. Great times! |

It was/is more flexible than the R7, but overall, if I had to choose, I'd take the R7 just for its flexibility and IF shift, and, for its IF notch filter versus an audio notch. I played with both R71 and R-5000 for a while before I settled on R-71. Mostly for it's control layout. With the crystal filter, it had very nice narrow selectivity. Although the audio was a bit harsh. I still like the Sherwood 3 kHz filter that I have in the R7. When I got back into DX'ing in 81-82 I really liked the Yaesu FRG-7700 which opened up a whole new world. digital readout, park on the frequency and they were either there or not. That, and the recording/timer function and I could listen while I was sleeping. Never worked FRG-7700, beyond a short test drive. But I did own a FRG-7 for some years. That was a nice rig. The simplicity of operation of a CM-1, but with much more robust, and quiet, performance. Got my first R7 in 1984 or so, and the R5000 around '89 or '90 if I recall. And when the R8 came out I got that in '91. I'd heard you, and others, raving about your Drakes for so long, that when an R8A showed up at a model train show a few years ago, for an absurdly low price, I had to have it. And I understand why you like it so much. Still give the RX-350 and AR-7030+ a good workout, but I have to admit, I think I may be firing up the Drake a bit more often than either. Great times! |

I have a Drake R7A and a JRC NRD-515. Both are excellent performers; the R7A is a bit better in performance. But the 515 is built like a tank, while the R7A is not too physically robust. |
