I am curious as to just how many TR-5's were manufactured by Drake.
Just this past week while "reading the mail" on 75 meters I heard one station
say only 512 were produced. This number matches with a current eBay listing
where the seller again used the number 512. However, my TR-5 is serial # 1368
and WB4HFN's serial number data bank has one listed with a serial # of 1514.
Additionally, I heard that some were being shipped to a country in South
America and the ship sank during a storm. Is there any truth to this rumor?
Can someone familiar with the TR-5 please clarify these numbers and the rumor?
Thanks Ed K2ZE
