[R-390] OT: Other Radios You Like

[Tom Frobase]

I bought my 6790/gm about 3 years ago at an estate sale.  It had a 
problem with the second IF synthesizer.  Once I repaired it has been an 
absolutely solid performer, in my estimation, phenomenal fidelity on AM 
and SSB.  It tends to be my go to radio.  The 390A is still my favorite 
although the 6790 runs 24x7.  It sits here in the shack with a 51J4 as 
well as a R-390a.  73, Tom, N3LLL
