Is the Drake R-4C still a preferred receiver for "topband" and 80M? I've come across one that I am thinking of buying. Serial number is above 18000 and it has a few mods already done to it; PS-4 upgrade and TDA2003 based 7W amplifier stage. Also comes with a 500 Hz CW filter and crystal calibrator. It's also cosmetically very clean.

I'm looking for a dedicated receiver to celebrate my recent upgrade to Extra, my current transceiver I is an Icom 706MKIIG. My first novice rig back in 1989 was a Drake TR-4CW, I sure miss that rig.

73's
