S-38 vs. HW-16

[Bradley S. Stone]

Aw, come now!  I never thought I'd live to see the day that someone would
say that a regen would "run circles around" a true superhet.  As if that
claim were by itself amazing, the S-38 was quite sensitive.  It wasn't very
stable, and had problems with selectivity and images (especially at higher
frequencies.)   Will the claim now be made that the regenerative was also
stable and selective?
