[Boatanchors] SP-600 v. R-390A

[Al Parker]

I have had many SP-600's that, after an hour or so warmup, I could 
listen to a SSB net on 20m with only a slight tuning change needed every 
5-10 min., often much longer.  I don't call that "very drifty". 
Probably not as good on 15, I'm sure worse on 10m.
