Classic Communications Portable Receiver
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

I was lucky to obtain a good used one, about 10 years ago, for just $A50 -- just see what they go for now one-bay! I first saw this set back in 1976 and fell in love with it. Alas, it was just too expensive at the time. The set is a real classic in more ways than one. Very good (analog) readout (for the time) and excellent sensitivity. Indeed, I sometimes prefer it to our R-390A. Ours comes with a near-useless FM tuner. The sound is far from 'hi-fi', but it will do. If you can get one of these sets at a reasonable price, don't hesitate!
