Drake R8 SN?
Guess I'd have him check it again, as it doesn't look right. I've had one of the first off the assembly line and they follow the format I explained. The same format was continued with the R8A and R8B. Only change with those two was the model change in the serial number. Well he just checked it again and said that's exactly what is on the radio. |

Why not just call Drake and find out the answer?
