Hi, Heinz.  I have seen this receiver, but it was out of action.  Vlad 
Titarev in Kremenchuk, Ukraine has one.  As I recall, it was not a Russian 
receiver, but built in Kharkiv, Ukraine.  He was very impressed by it, 
having purchased it in the 90s direct from the factory.  I'm not sure 
whether he's on this list or not, but he is active in other dx lists, such 
as DXplorer.  Hope that helps..........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC, Canada.
