[R-390] Please spare us

[Steve Hobensack]

    Here is a way compare receivers: Find a local AM broadcast station. Can 
you hear a distant station 10kc away from it? 20kc away? Which receiver does 
it best? One must use tight selectivity to remove the other sideband, then 
listen on the sideband furthest away from the local bcst stn.

The R388/URR (51J3) has crystal filtering, and the R388A/URR (51J4) has
mechanical filters. I have never had the opportunity to compare these
two
radios side by side. If anyone has been able to do this how do the two
radio
compare.? My SP-600 has both kinds of filters but it needs a serious
tune-up, it is real deaf so it just isn't possible to compare using it.
I
must say I like the phasing control the crystal filtering has.
