[R-390] R-388 - Audio Quality

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

Don't forget the SX-62* series, also runs a pair of 6V6's push/pull. GREAT dial too, just picky when
it comes to tuning. Apparently the SX-62 is a repackaged version of the SX-42 sans bandspread.

I've got an R-388 with a bit of a hum, but I've never heard wild praise for the audio. More that it
is adequate, the rig holds calibration well, and is stable as well as sensitive. Also built with the
typical Collins quality. More like a communications radio than an entertainment receiver, I guess.
