Mine is *2J1294etc...
It was made in 2002. Does the J mean it was made in the 10th month,
October?

You know I think you are right... J is October and my L is December.

The 1294 is the model number and is the same as mine---interesting... no
changes to the R8B between December 1997 and October 2002.

Gosh... it's been a long time... I just can't be sure about it.

That the model number is the same means little w.r.t. changes. Since there
is a manufacturing date included, thre could be design changes every month.

I know for a fact there was a design change between "9L" and "1I". The RF
boards are different.

Thanks for the reply.

What is 'w.r.t.' ? I haven't seen that one.

BTW, is there a listing of design changes made by Drake to the R8B over its
history?
