The later version of the SW8 (starting in 1996) have a much better sync'
detector than either the R8 or R8A.

Nevertheless, the R8A is the far superior dx system and of more value on the
market. I have owned both.

The late model (1996) SW8 sells for more than the original R8.

He is a HAM. He used the R8 before he was licensed and since then purchased
a transceiver which works as well as the R8A does for what he needs.

He operates CW and purchased a low power portable transmitter so he can operate
a portable station, probably from batteries. In his opinion an SW8 would make
a good receiver for his portable station.

Since he no longer uses the R8A, an even trade makes a lot of sense to him.
Both parties can communicate directrly so that there are no misunderstandings,
no EBAY fees, etc.
