I agree, I've never owned the AOR
but purchased A Drake R8B last year. I've been a listener since 1958
(yikes !) and have
owned numerous receivers over the years. I was in
the Signal Corp in
1964-66 and
was a Comm. Center Specialist and we used Collins Equipment which wa
wonderful but in my opionion not in the same league as the Drake. I'd
try to find a good used one before they get scooped up
by collectore.
