Scroll down and read the sorry news.

This is a sad day indeed.

Damn. And I wasn't ready yet to buy one.

I've got this bad feeling that the prices on used R8/R8A/R8B
are about to go up a bit, for a while at least.

I guess at this point you might wish to call AES and/or HRO to inquire if they
still have any in stock.

Strategies vary, but if I didn't have one, I'm of the school that it's
better to get a receiver that's actually made currently than be stuck
with a broken one when it breaks.

The R8B is very nice but it's also a lot of money. My chief unmet need
is a better selectivity against really huge signals on the adjacent
channel, so as to copy 910 kHz LSB when there's a local on 920.

Unfortunately I can't null the 920 because I'm already nulling another
station on 910.

The R8B does pretty well but I need more dB here.

Service will be available for years, either at Drake or through another tech.

My R7 (still one of the best dx machines ever built) is still readily serviced
by numerous technicians throughout the USA.
