I truly hope that your friend gets better, and that SWL elevates his spirits.
Here's an informal summary...the last post summarizes the best: http://www.redwaveradio.com/11_7ed23cbb3e82918b_1.htm 73s, Hugh WA2LXB -----Original Message----- From: Drakelist [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2016 12:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Drakelist Digest, Vol 57, Issue 8 Send Drakelist mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Drakelist digest..."

The synchronous detector on the R-8 and the R-8A isn't sideband selectable. Unlike some synchronous detectors, the one on the R-8B works quite well in my experience. Hope this helps.
