Changed "HMS Queen Mary" to "RMS Queen Mary". The ocean liner is a Royal Mail Steamer, not a His Majesty's Ship (naval warship). HMS Queen Mary was a WWI battlecruiser.

I have seen many three-band Drake UV-3s and a few one-band UV-3s. I have never seen a two-band model. In addition, I believe that close to zero UV-3s actually had additional bands later added on to the basic two-meter version. FLAHAM (talk) 21:03, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Opinion intermixed with facts.
Drake radios were hardly considered Cadillac of the Amateur Radio Market. Collins was, however. They were nice; but hardly of Cadillac status.

My understanding is that the TR5 was not a "solid state version of the TR4." It was a "de-flossed TR7 (i.e., with several features removed to allow for a lower price). FLAHAM (talk) 15:39, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
