[R-390] Motorola vs EAC

[William J. Neill]

I'm running three R-390As, one each by Collins, Motorola, and EAC.  I  
don't necessarily perceive any difference between them.

Actually, if there is a preferred receiver that I use, it is my 51J4.

Any opinions on which is a better quality? I was looking to purchase  
one and it has come down to this twol. The EAC has an etched panel  
and the Motorola has a sik screen panel Thanks
