S-38 vs. HW-16

[Dick Blaney]

Still, look at the cost of such a receiver with respect to the starter
radio like the S-38.  Those big Navy regens were still issue, and not
released for surplus market.  For it's time the S-38 became one of
those products that filled a hole in the market, and became one that
was copied by several other manufacturers.  Please quit running my
S-38 down, you'll end up giving me an inferiority complex.
