Well, even though the guy is a troll, I always try to make to best of

Welcome! It is a good place! Traffic is much lower than it used to be,
but there are still plenty of interesting people hanging out here.

I can now relive the good old days.

Through the years I have gotten rid of most of my "boatanchors"
but happily still have my HQ-140-X

I had one of those when I was a novice and eventually did a horse-trade
for an R-388 that made me a lot happier, but you can't really complain
about any of those old rigs. You turn on the receiver and there are
people talking and after a few decades that's still pretty cool.

Did the R-388 have a phasing type crystal filter, or did Collins put a
mechanical filter in it? I seem to recall the former.
