[R-390] R-390A comparison

[b w]

Hello Kees,

Actually, most of us have SP-600s around here...or a lot did last year. 
There has been quite a lot of SP discussion in the past, so feel free to 
ask and discuss.

If that JX-14 is in good shape and has a good price then buy it. They 
are fine band cruisers. They aren't as sensitive as the R-390 family, 
they don't have the sharper filters, sometimes they drift a little, but 
the fantastic audio makes up for most of all that. I know that I love my 
JX-26.

I hope that you have found a good deal with the radio. There are many 
people here who can help you along with getting comfortable with it.
