@@emanuelgs2007 Hello and welcome to my channel. There are many old radio videos here! Thank you for your comments

Nice Video! BTW, do you have Lightning protection on your antenna system?? 256K upstream and 256K Downstream was BLAZING FGAST!!!! LOL, those good old days. BTW, I worked with Motorola to develop the first ever cable TV modem!!! They could not figure out how to make it work, but I showed them how to do it!!! 🙂 AND!!!!!!!!! Nice Matt on top of your desk!!!

They all sound very good... But that JRC is something special...!!!

[@martinryan5069]

Two excellent videos I'll wait for the 9500 absolutely no hurry thanks have a lot of receivers myself ❤

[@buckygeer]

Great video and enjoy all of your series. I've owned all of these and they all sound great! That being said if I were shopping today would have to go with the Kenwood due to the fact that it can still be serviced. None available for JRC or Drake. As for the best on the table.....I would say the Drake, as it's only weakness is the tuning encoder, as they are prone to fail with age.....but are readily available in eBay ( cheap ). Loved the JRC 515 and was my favorite old school receiver. and bought a mint used one in Dallas many years ago for $100 at Texas Towers.....they knew nothing about it. Love all of the later JRC receivers but once the florescent readouts fail they are kaput.....no replacements available according to the NRD-JRC people. Your reviews are absolutely the best.....thanks!

Someone gave me a NRD-525 ~2 years ago. With vhf/uhf board, rtty, and some other board i cant remember.

You Lucky dog 😂

[@ON5ALE-Alessio]

Is there a 4 or 4.5 kHz option for the JRC I learned it has 5 slots for filters where the kenwood has 3

[@dieselten01]

@@ON5ALE-Alessio I do not know all the options for filters, I only know what is in my radio. My radio is standard stock unmodified.

[@ON5ALE-Alessio]

@@dieselten01 ah ok. I want to gather info on that subject. Anyway I eas wrong the R 5000 has 4 slots but the Jrc 525 has 5

[@ON5ALE-Alessio]

The notch on the kenwood isn't unusable but virtually useless.

[@FountainHillsHiFi]

JRC NRD525 takes the win in my opinion...

[@RadioMcRadioface]

i had a 5000, bt the jrc sounds rich, wanna trade it for an aor 7030 without a power supply and a NetSDR? 1000% serious, i'll throw in an sdr-ip.

[@dieselten01]

No thanks
