- G'day all, I have a 1955-vintage Collins R390 here and am curious about whether anyone on the reflector has done any comparisons on 160m with the 75A4 - or what anyone who has a R390 thinks of its pe

- The referenced page from Sherwood Engineering has comparisons of several vintage receivers including the R390 but unfortunately not the 75A4. Since the R390 was a military receiver and the 75A4 was s
