But, a -380 was a pretty hot radio in those days.
The '380 was still being advertised in QST in '82 at least, maybe '83. The Drake TR-7 was its contemporary as I recall. Heathkit entered the fray with the SS-9000. Kenwood's TS-930 was probably the leader in sales and it seems more likely to work someone with a '930 than any of the other three these days. 73, Nate, N0NB -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
