[Milsurplus] R-808 versus SRR-13 resolution

[Hubert Miller]

>From what few data samples i have gathered from Pac NW hamfairs and estates, the RBA RBB RBC don't get no respect. 
I see them unsold at these sales. People don't even look at them, don't see them. I suppose they are above the threshold
of size + weight. It does not surprise me at all that the RBB series overloads less than the SRR series. A single conversion
receiver will most often do better in this than a multiple conversion receiver unless the designers took those vulnerabilities 
into the design consideration. When i looked at the schematic for a toy i got recently, the Lafayette HA-800, i saw that the
first IF had 2 tuned circuits and one feed into a transistor base. In other words, low Q. But - the receiver does weigh "nothing"
comparatively. 
I just did a mental count and i realized i have accumulated a shocking number of HROs from WWII to postwar. I need to 
do something about cutting that down. But it also occurs to me that the HRO at least the single digit ones are very simple
to maintain, a piece of cake compared. You open the lid, look in, and it's like seeing the street map of Salt Lake City and not 
Tacoma, WA.
