[Collins] R388 51j-3

Dan and the group,

This may be blasphemy on my part, but I prefer the 51J3/R-388 over the
51J4s.  The 51J3/R-388s seem more sensitive, and the audio quality is indeed
better.  I can't help but think it is related to the insertion loss of the
mechanical filters in the 51J4 - which is nothing more than a 51J3 with the
mechanical filter conversion kit installed.  Am I nuts, or does anyone else
feel this way?  I love a nice 51J3/R-388 for general SWL'ing.

Dennis

I haven't had a 388 51j3 in a long time! The audio is fantastic. I know the
J4's are the coveted ones but they don't hold a candle to the crystal filter
audio. Its like hi-fi!!  Dan
