Which one would you keep?
jberenyi
Due to life changes, different interests and the wife’s request, I am
thinking of thinning down my collection of radios. I say thinning
because I need to keep something just in case interests ever come back
to me. I’m still really struggling over which to sell between the
Drake or the JRC. Both these rigs are king in their own right. It’s
so hard to pick one over the other. Maybe you guys can help me.
What’s really hard is coming up with a price for all these too. In
the end I would like to keep one desktop and one portable.

Hi John,
I would personally keep the NRD, but the R7A is a great radio too, but
not nearly as pleasant to use as the JRC is. I had to sell some of my
toys recently due to finances, but I still hung onto my 515. I just got
offered a lot of money for it, and I might just bite. With all the stuff
you have with it, as a "set" it would probably go for over $2K.

John. I'm with BDK on this one. both are great receivers. the R7A should
pull in at the least $1.5K to $2.0K. market is solid on the Drake. the
515 is a real classic. less made than the Drake. the JRC, with the
extras, and the SE3 should bring up to $2.5K to maybe $3.0K. i just saw
the keyboard and controller go for $650.00 last month on ebay. SE3's
go for 4 to $550.00 all the time. i, myself like the 515. got 2 here,
one box stock, other with all the mods. i would hate to have to part
with either one. always hard to let a receiver go. and, looking down
the road, if you let one go, you may never get another. people hang
on to both of these. back in the day, i let a JRC 505 go, and have
been looking for another for way too long. so, do you really need that
second car? just my 2 cents.

radios go up in value.
If you really need a second car, you can look around and find a good
second hand car for not too much money.
I say, keep both radios.

Keep the Collins, because they glow in the dark. Later on they finance
your retirement. Sell the rice boxes before it is too late.!
