[R-390] R-388?

[Transmaster]

There are a bunch of us who have the R388/URR and the R388A/URR.  I have and
R388/URR and it is my favorite receiver. I have it together in my rack with
my R390A/URR  I hunt with the R388 and zero in with the R390A.  . The R388
was a favorite with military personal in the early 1950's because it was a
general coverage receiver so they could sneak in listening to stations that
played the Billboard  top 40 tunes.

  You may have run into or own one of the many transmitter/Receiver
BC-22X-XX calibrators which were used in the 1940's and early 1950's. the
one  I have is a BC-221-AL   The R388 receivers where very accurate
frequency standards in there own right and where used to calibrate the
transmitters they worked with.   This one radio made the all of these HF
calibrators redundant.

By the way if you run into one of these old calibrator units in good working
condition purchase it they are very handy to have went working on old
brontosaurus transmitters.
