"JR DOOLEY" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The TR5 is a great radio.
Unlike the TR7(A), the TR5 has great receive audio and I can listen to it for hours on end without fatigue. It is frequency stable, and the power output is just right for driving a small amp.
If I could have only one Drake HF radio, the TR5 would be it.
What's the story on a large quantity of these radios being sunk?

Jim, the TR5 is a fine radio and works well and was to be the solid state replacement for the TR4 series. I think the reason for the high value is its a rare item to find. Drake only manufactured 517 units, as compared to around 3000 or more TR7's. Of those 517 TR5's built we believe a large number of them (estimated around 200 units) were lost as sea while being shipped to South America.

I checked out the link http://www.wb4hfn.com/DrakePricing.htm and was please to see that my rig (TR-5) is apparently valuable.
It seems to be as valuable as the tr-7 . To what do you attribute this?
