My R-390A did a better job than anything else I've owned. I suspect the
$4,000 radios are better.[/quote]

Yes I am thinking about purchasing a R-390A to Miltronix, a full refurbished is about $2000 plus $500 shipping to my country,Spain plus $200 of incoming taxes.

Does it worth buying a 390A or it would be better spend a little more money in a second hand Watkins Johnson or a Rhode & schwartz, for example?

Thanks
