Anyone else have experience with these? Mine's an S-72r. Not sure what the difference is between the different versions.
I'm SUPER impressed with this radio. 8 tubes, two IF amps, BFO (though I have yet to figure out how to use it). Seperate 1L6 oscillator and 1U4 mixer. Coverage all the way up to 30 MHz, and gain is good all the way up! Rock solid LO, too. No drift whatsoever, but then, there's not a lot of heat in these radios. This thing spanks my T-O's and every other portable SW I've ever owned (tube types, and most ss types)
