[R-390] R-390 "deadly components"

[ROBERT YOUNG]

I'm mostly a medium wave DXer and had been told the mechanical filters in 
the A were superior than the filters in the non-A at least for the BCB band 
that the peaks of the curves were flatter thus more intelligible in the 
narrow positions which you need to DX the foreign splits, what's the 
consensus around here (I don't have either yet)
