Hi Everyone,
Joined the list a couple of weeks ago.Could someone point me in the right
direction or tell me the differences between the above receivers.
I am going to try and get my hands on one of them.I remember seeing them
both many years ago and i thought they both looked similar in appearance at
least.
I have an original handbook for the SX28 here.
Also i have an S38C which is going just fine out in my garage.
Thanks in anticipation
