When discussions come up in ham radio forums on what was the best HF transceiver ever made, there is a reason why the Drake TR7(a) consistently ranks as the top voted one. It is simply one if the finest radios ever made. It's array of available filters, audio quality, wideband coverage, transmit duty cycle, excellent noise floor, and full passband tuning make it a radio that can compete quite favorably head to head against modern radios. This transceiver is over engineered in a way that is vanishingly rare. For example, the final amplifier is capable of fully twice the radios rated output, meaning in normal operation they are essentially loafing along. The TR7A (or a TR7 with the optional fan) is capable of 100% transmit duty cycle on CW. It's capable of it in SSB even without the fan. What makes this all so very remarkable is that this is one of the very first completely solid state HF transceivers ever. It's also a fully open design. A radio you can tinker with, add functionality to, and repair. Something you can't do with today's VLSI DSP rigs. These radios will still be coveted another 35 years from now. This radio is the pride of my shack, and will be my primary HF radio for the foreseeable future.Read full review

The workmanship is wonderful. The felt inside the cover protects the radio from scratches. The fit is secure. The logo identifying the radio is very professional. The price is great, considering how much it will protect an expensive radio. Highly recommend.

Although this radio is from the 70's, it still shines. I was lucky enought to get one that is show room quality and it really does perform like it. It was one of the premium radios in its day and it still out perfoms several of the newer radios that I own.

I hooked this up and it works like it should allowing me to get the 10 to 80 meter bands. My antenna won't get 160 meters so can't comment on it yet. Greg
