I wish I had both in my possession to compare.

BTW, I'm really happy with the R8B I bought a few months ago.

Both are very good. But I would go with the Drake. Better performance.
Better quality control.

i have an r8b and it is an excellent radio, the tech support (here in
canada) is great. i have never had to get mine fixed but i know of other
older models like r8 and r8a needing fixed, and the service was great!
never used a JRC NRD-545 but i have heard that they are great as well.
the only way to decide might be the price

I own a Drake and an NRD and I have never heard anything negative about
Japan Radio's quality control. They build their radios like tanks!

I don't know about now but, 25 years ago, Japan manufacturers tested evey
single component individually, using mom and pop test shops. Each shop would
test a certain item, thus adding to the efficiency and reliability of the
testing. U.S. mfrs, though, only spot checked stuff -- one out of 100, or 1000,
etc.

U.S. mfrs had also run into trouble using lab-precision parts instead of
production tolerance parts when a device was designed.
