I bought this receiver from the original owner about 2 and half years ago but only used it for a short time. So this receiver has been in my bedroom closet all that time.
The previous owner said he replaced the capacitors in the power supply and all the LEDs. It is in very good condition and is just as sensitive as the 8500.
With the HT antenna shown (not included) in the main picture I was able to receive police broadcasts and amateur 2 meter and 440 Mhz repeaters over 25 miles away. The only difference I noted between this receiver and the R 8500 is that the S meter is a little stingy on strong signals. Included are both the instruction and maintenance manuals as shown plus the 12 volt power cord along with the 115 v power cord and a male N to SO239 female connector.
This receiver terminates with an N connector. Thank You and good luck.
