Yes. David suggested the same method. I simply have not had time to dig into either radio 
for some time now.

Although the RCH/SLR-F is kinda klunky, I've always like it. I had one many years ago. The 
tuning mechanism is really superb, and includes a big flywheel. Very smooth.

Calibration is minimal, selectivity is marginal, sensitivity is OK, audio is good, and it weighs 
too much: 90 lbs, but it is a fun receiver: nice and stable too.

IF is kinda weird: 585 Khz.

I've always liked Scott receivers.
