I had an NRD535d and a Drake R8A sitting side by side for a bit. The
535d was a real nice radio. I liked the appearance and many of the
features, however I got rid of it but still have the R8A. Of course,
it helps that Miamisburg is only 35 miles up I-75 from here.

That's almost like living 35 miles from Mecca! One can make the
pilgrimage easily!

(Though I don't think their manufacturing facility is located in
Miamisburg any more)

I'm a proud descendant of the Miami Nation by the way. :-)
