Much better, actually. The R7 is a great radio, but it's a tin box compared to that JRC and almost any JRC radio ever made. I briefly had a NRD-515 with the NCM-515 frequency and NDH-515 memory unit that I picked up via the 'Ham Trader Yellow Sheets' (some might remember that) for a song. Split the set up and resold it. That had to have been pre-1994. I just didn't care for the audio on the JRC's. |

What has been said elsewhe Collins made extraordinary radios using extraordinary components. Drake made extraordinary radios using ordinary components. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

And it still wouldn't be half as pleasant to use as the most un- ergonomic radio JRC ever made. Nothing compares, IMHO to the layout and feel of JRC stuff.. I suppose. I go for performance these days, the ionosphere being what it is. I have left a trail of good feeling radios too heavy or too bulky to pack. If I was buying a radio for cool knobs I'd probably go for a 51s-1. Nobody around here has more experience on big knob Collins **** than I do. I got a lot of that out of my system as a radio teen. I sure as hell am not going to spend $1,900 on a radio without a USB or a 232 port. |

If you're going to latch onto an antique that you plan to use, at least get one that smells good and glows. Get one with a little warmth to the audio. http://www.collinsradio.org/html/51s-1.html I just didn't care for the audio on the JRC's. |

I never really listened to much AM stuff anyway, so it wasn't any big deal as the SSB modes were great. -- BDK- Top of the government shill heap for over 10 years running! |

JRC made a some tube sets too, if you're really into heating up your room. I have a Hammarlund HQ-100 that's been modded to insane levels and I leave it on all Winter, just to keep the room tolerable. -- BDK- Top of the government shill heap for over 10 years running! |
