[R-1051] R1051H Varients

[paul swed]

Interesting that you love the 390 over the 1051. Not much of a difference
accept the mechanics on the 390 kill me if someone has messed with them.
I actually dealt with the 390s in the Navy and the intro of the 1051s. Both
good units. But never found a 390 at a reasonable price. $300 or less.....
I did buy my 1051 way back at $700. Thats when they were about 1K of so.
Time flies and now 1051s are 100-300 and you simply don't see 390s anymore.
Maybe ebay but I don't pay ebay prices. I am a ham after all.
Regards
Paul.
