The '380 was still being advertised in QST in '82 at least, maybe '83.
The Drake TR-7 was its contemporary as I recall.  Heathkit entered the
fray with the SS-9000.  Kenwood's TS-930 was probably the leader in
sales and it seems more likely to work someone with a '930 than any of
the other three these days.
