[R-390] Please spare us

[Kenneth Arthur Crips]

This is great now we are starting to discuss radios like we should.

It is interesting to look at what happened to some of the Radio companies in 
the post WWII era. A case in point is Radio Manufactures Engineers of 
Peoria, Illinois (RME).  I have a RME 45 which was built in October of 1946. 
It is a well made radio. RME was purchased by Electro Voice in the early 
1950's and the RME division of Electro Voice continued into the late 50's 
when production stopped.  In the early 70's some of the engineers who 
started with the RME division retired and instead of going fishing they when 
on to form Tennessee Technical now known as Ten Tec.  This Electro Voice 
connection explains why most Ten Tec rigs operating with in spec's sound so 
good on the air.
