    My first station receiver was a BC-779 built by Howard Radio. Had it 
until recently when I had to clear out storage. I didn't really mean to 
get rid of it. I think the Super-Pro was about the best receive of its 
time. The RCA AR-88 overlapped this time period and was probably 
superior in some ways but was not ever available as a retail product.

For one thing, there is something almost "military truckish" about them.And their electronic characteristics are always top notch for the time.My first one was a BC-779 with power supply. It was "war surplus" but never had been used.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone
