    I do not doubt the EK RXs are fine, just never had time to really get
comfortable with them. Hank Arney who is only an hour or so away just made
an offer to let me come up and play with the sets. I want to take him up on
it but it will have to be in a couple of months 'cause my job will have me
gone quite a bit. The last '390s I have are a 1959 Stew Warner and 1960 EAC,
both keepers, the others were traded or given away to local friends. The
'390s design time was late '40s- early '50s, I believe, .......with the EK
being a bit later???? Not sure on EK history but if it is later It should be
a better set, developments and all. Again, I'm ready to learn a "new"
radio...too much fun!
