[Premium-Rx] Shortwave receiver EN-R2, Intermarine Electronics Inc.

[Heinz Breuer]

Hello Arthur,
I already checked Osterman‘s book but the company IMRC International Marine Radio Company had a logo which showed up on the front panel of their receivers. The EN-R2 has neither a logo or any manufacturer‘s name on the front panel. Just the tag on the back panel.

There is an empty spot for a sixth filter but the front panel has only 4 push buttons to select filters which are labeled VNAR, NAR, INTR, LSB (very narrow, narrow, intermediate and LSB. If no push botton is pressed the USB filter is selected.
