DROOL! Now THAT'S the look and layout of a REAL RADIO. None of
this damn bumping-through-the-microprocessor-menu crap.

Kind of like my R7 in a way, but most likely not the same build
quality.

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 think I paid something like $750 for the lot at the time.

This is the best of the "student" class radios, IMHO. 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.

I just didn't care for the audio on the JRC's.
