Default ANYBODY KNOW?

Radio West was a small company run by SWL enthusiasts in the 70/80.
Think: Kiwa
I have one of their ICF 2010s with a the stock narrow filter moved to
the wide position and their (really excellent) narrow filter installed
in the narrow position. They also did a burn-in and alignment. It makes
it a real DX machine and I have enjoyed it for close to 25 years.
I don't remember the guys name now but they were highly thought of back
then.
