Ok Unca Sandy, but as soon as your back gets better you just let me know!
I just had a thought! "It happens every once and a while", You know those number stations on Shortwave "ocho, ocho Nueva something or another", I've heard that they are used by spies to receive messages from their base. Well if you were a spy you wouldn't want to drag around a R-390 every where you went. I wonder if Sony and others might have developed these tiny radios for them but sold some of them to the public just because they had too. I found mine at a pawn shop 10 years ago, so maybe that spy was down on his luck and needed some spare cash.
