Sorry to piggyback on this, but didn't you buy an R8A
recently, Ace?? Have you had a chance to play with it
yet and compare it to your other Drakes??

Yes, it's pretty much similar to the R8 and R8B. I don't
note
any real
differences in receiving capability. Currently sitting in
the
box whilst I
decide what to do with it.

Ship it here for extended testing.

$600 deposit + shipping.

I might take you up on it, Ace, if I don't find anything
interesting enough at the Hamvention.

Well, I certainly hope you have a great time at the Hamvention. I've
never gone
myself.

If you happen to see Joe Walsh, WB6ACU, please tell him that Steve,
N8KDV, in
Holland, MI says hello.

Will do. Since I'm just an SWL, I can burn through the flea market
a lot faster than on the times I've been there with a friend who's
a ham, so I should have some time to do some looking around
for more famous hams.
