There are two differences: one component wise, one otherwise.

1) The antenna connector in the 7 is a more modern, more shielded 
connector than is on the 5 version. It is a large "coax" type connector specific 
to the Navy.

2) Most "different" models of older Navy receivers simple denote different 
manufacturers. The different models of the RBL are a case in point.

The only difference between the RAK-7 and the RAK-8 is that the RAK-7 is 
made by Andrea Radio, while the RAK-8 is made by Motorola.

The schematics are all identical, as far as I have been able to tell.
