[R-390] What Nor Cal

[w9ya at arrl.net]

Actually Roger, their Sierra and Norcal 40 transceivers are some of the
best radios for under $1000 you can get performance wise (read superhets,
NOT direct conversion).

In fact these two radios were designed by the same fella that immediately
went on to design all of Elecraft's radios. And those offerings are also
not to be sniffed at as some "tuna-tin" (or) "direct conversion
receivers".

All in all Norcal has offered up around 20 kits or so in the past dozen
years. Only one of which was a direct conversion receiver (if I recall
correctly).
