[r-390] hi

[blw]

We all love boatanchors on this list. SP-600s and 1051s get mentioned a lot
around here.  I only have As as I've not run into any good deals on un-As
yet. You offered the reason for the mostly A talk yourself- a lot were
manufactured compared to the non-A. One of the few topics that remain to be
censored on this list is the diversion to general boatanchor talk. Just
because non-A talk is sparse it doesn't indicate that A owners are snooty
about other radios. Talk about un-As all you wish. I enjoy reading about
boatanchors. 

The author of that quote was a paranoid schizophrenic with persecution
ideation.
