[R-390] R-274/FRR

Sandy,

Performance is equal to that of the SP-600 (notice the SP-600 military
designation is the same as the SX-73: R-274/FRR) as they're interchangeable
in the military installation/usage. Halli made the SX-73 as a second-source
for the Hammarlund SP-600, without copying it or infringing on any patents
used in the SP-600.
No unusual tubes in either of them.
Preference? Only subjective, depends on the tastes (cosmetics and
ergonomics-wise) of the operator.
I have both and I love them equally...

73, Meir WF2U

Gents- I have an opportunity to procure a Hallicrafters R-274/FRR, the
&quot;sort-of&quot; Halli version of an SP-600. I wonder if any of you have
experiences w/this set- good or bad, &amp; about what they are worth. Fellow
sez its in good shape,&amp; has better audio than a 390 or 390A. Does it
have any unobtainium tubes, like the 3TF7s or anything like that? I would
appreciate any &amp; all comments, suggestions, etc. -Sandy G.
