[Hammarlund] Ultimate receiver??

[Glen Zook]

The 51J- series and the R-388- series are MUCH easier on the wrist than the R-390- series!  I had a pair of SP-600-JX-17 receivers in very good condition.  However, they both were "drift city" and I got rid of them.  Also had an R-390 that was excellent for fixed frequency use.  However, very hard on the wrist to tune.  Now have both a 51J-2 and an R-388 and both of those work very well.

Band cruising is a lot easier with the collins 51J(4) series and with a good resolution on the readout and not as hard on the wrist to tune as the R-390 series.  73 from Fern
