"Chris Hill" wrote in message ... In my search for a communications receiver with voice I've ran across a used one of these. Would anyone like to comment on what I'd be losing over something more expensive/newer? The new Ten Tec r320d is still cheaper, but I haven't heard much about it. Thanks. A lot of old Dxers use R-5000s including me. You won't be disapointed. Some have complained about key bounce on the newmeric pads but I've never seen it in the three I've owned. The one I have now has seen service daily for three years. There one of the best radios ever made. Theres alot of good radios out there now days. I like the NRD-525 too with an extension speaker of good quality and the Icom R-75 is a good bang for the buck. Some R-8s are out there for around four bills that are great performers. All these radios I've mentioned are under $500. Good luck. -- 73 and good DXing. Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of radios and 100' of rusty wire!
