Hi Bill (and Neil),
Of course I agree with Neil.
The Drake R8A has a 50 ohm impedance antenna connector which isn't really
compatible with the FSL's inductively coupled boosting system. The FSL antennas
work very well with any radio having a loopstick (portables of any size) but
not with table receivers looking for a broadband antenna with 50 ohm impedance.
