[R-390] OT: Other Radios You Like

[Osamu Hazawa]

Hello Scott,

I own a WJ-8718 for about 5 years.
Excellent and robust receiver.
There are not so many knobs to touch but it's enough.

I'll choose an R-390A and a WJ-8*** if I were said "You can bring 2 radios 
to heaven.". B-)
(They are too heavy to bring though)
