Hi Ron: Comparing the HRO 50 to the R 390, I prefer the HRO. You will know the exact frequency with the 390, but the sound out of the HRO will not require additional amplifiers and such. It is so much better sounding that I gave up the "Collins audio".
Both have their good points and bad points, but I prefer the HRO (I have a HRO 60 and sold my R 388). 73 Jim de W5JO I separated my questions depending on the radio.... I also have a chance to buy a HRO 50 receiver with coils. Is it really such a great radio? Thanks from Ron VE4SR
