I remember the 545 as having ultimate rejection problems, and JRC not having
any intention to fix them. This was a few years back. Did they resolve that
issue?

The early 545 production runs had this problem, but JRC fixed it a year or 2
later.
Some claim that the 545's ultimate rejection, while improved by the JRC fix, is
still not what it should be for such an expensive radio. I have done
selectivity comparisons (by ear) of the R8B vs 545, and quite honestly have
found them to be about equal, with the 545 being a bit better in a few cases.
Of course, my receiving location, or choice of test scenarios, may not have
been "tough" enough.

My favorite JRC radio was the NRD515.

I know what you mean! I have a 515, and even though the 545 out-performs it,
the 515 (and Drake R7A) are still my all-time favorite radios. There's just
something about those 2; they just "feel" like real radios.
