I have a Rohde & Schwarz EK-07 military shortwave receiver, & it is rather obvious it was made by the same people who made the Tiger tank...It makes an R-390A look like a tinkertoy by comparison...152 lbs of German precision engineering, at a "cost-be-damned" design/build philosophy. The German Army told R&S around 1956 that they wanted the finest radio that it was possible to build, & that's exactly what they got...
