Great condition.
Drake DX-R8 HF Communications Receiver, The Drake R8 is a microprocessor controlled, synthesized, all-mode, world band receiver offering excellent sensitivity, high dynamic range and other features for the most demanding listener. It has been designed as a “complete package.” You get many items as standard-equipment, that would be extra on other receivers. Multi-mode reception (AM, FM, USB, LSB, RTTY and CW) is featured throughout the range of the receiver (100 kHz to 30 MHz). A high-Q, 8-pole, electronically switched IF filter provides a range of five bandwidths. Later “firmware” permits user selection of bandwidths independent of mode and 100 Hz readout in AM (in later production only). The front panel liquid crystal display provides visual feedback to the operator of the current status of the receiver. In the AM mode, a selectable synchronous detector (SYNCHRO) allows for enhanced reception by eliminating or reducing distortion due to fading signals. A Passband Offset control also aids in reducing or eliminating interfering signals by electronically shifting the receiver’s IF frequencies without disturbing the operating frequency. This action allows the operator to electronically move interfering signals out of the receiver’s passband thus utilizing the degree of selectivity provided by the high-Q, 8-pole IF filter
