Let us talk a little bit about the R8B. Drake began its foray into shortwave receivers with the nice, but modest SW4 receiver. Now 25 years later, Drake brought out the R8 receiver in 1991. Eventually Drake introduced the R8A in 1995 and then a couple of years later, they hit the nail on the head with the R8B which was introduced in 1997 and was produced until 2005.
