Has anyone owned one of these receivers? I'm not bidding on it, but
I'm
curious about how it would stack up against one of the better
commercial receivers, like an R8B or 7030+.

Never had one, never will. Not even necessary for DX'ing...

I swear by, not at, Drake receivers.=A9
Drake R7, R8, R8A and R8B

I had one several years ago, worked ok, nothing to write home about. I
agree, the Drake R8 series is better as are many other receivers. Guy
Atkins, a well known mw dx'er sold his and kept a Kiwa modified Icom
R75.
