[R-390] Facts of life 2

[Bill Smith]

Ed, does that mean if you really want to listen to an old-time radio show,
that you fire up the SB-301 first?  'Course think that is a ham-band only
receiver.  Which one do you find you use all the time?  Or are you organized
well enough (translated: shack is cleaned up enough so you can get to the
sets) so that each receiver is reserved for a favorite frequency?  (GB
Grin)...
