Bob,
Actually, I did not think of this as an experiment. I think man powered 
radios exhisted as far back as WWII or maybe Korea. And remember every radio 
had tubes in it back then, none of that wimpy sand state stuff. 
On the other hand, maybe the damn thing never ever performed well in the 
field. It,  like a lot of other stuff, was never intended to really do 
anything other than made a good profit for the manufacturer.
Still, I am a bit puzzled that as many ex military types as we have on the 
R-390 net. apparently, none us ever drove, er pedaled, one of 'em.

Kindest regards,
Dave
