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. |

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.

Rickmers, I've been able to do a lot with my "student" radios! The R7 (and the companion TR7) were designed in a different day. There were lots of stations to receive, and almost no noise. Someone on the east coast of the US could get BBC, Radio Moscow, CHU, WWV, and a few other stations by attaching a 1 foot wire to the back of the radio. On a good day, you coud receive stations from (eastern) Asia and Australia, South America and Africa. If you had an outside antenna of almost any size, (1m or longer), you could receive them almost all the time. Not the same stations all day, but the except for the BBC and Radio Moscow, they were scheduled to only be on during best propigation hours. The BBC and Radio Moscow were on 24/7. It was also still the time when a wide skirt filter was desired for AM, so that you would get pleasant sounding broadcasts. You did not need a narrow skirt, or for that matter a narrow passband filter. The the late 1980's and early 1990's came around and you needed as sharp a filter as you could get for Shortwave listening. Forget about audio quality and ease of listening. Yes, I have ignored CW and SSB, but that's a whole different topic and not very important to the average 1970's listener they were not important. In those days people still listened to SWBC for news and entertainment. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S. Mendelson N3OWJ/4X1GM Making your enemy reliant on software you support is the best revenge. |

I have a radio that has a conventional RF path and an SDR I.F; I consider it the best of both worlds. It has every knob that's on the JRC (times 2, on some parameters because I can add a second receiver and there are concentric controls for RF and AF Gain.) FWIW, my crystal filters are identical to the ones JRC uses! |

Both knobs have adjustable "drag" in fact. The computer generates the text and helps me log. I'm constantly tweaking real knobs while chasing faint traces on the waterfall. |
