The R-389, the R-390s & EK-07 all LOVE the Kiwa...Took it over to a friend's house one Sunday afternoon in the winter-He has a late Thirties cathedral style radio that would barely pick up anything at his location...He thought his radio was sick, even tho he'd recapped it & checked the tubes...It "Came Alive" once we hooked up the Kiwa...Little 1KW daytimers up in Virginia & Kentucky popped out of the woodwork..Ratshak had a very good tunable loop several years back, & at $20, IIRC, it was better than one you could make yrself...Took some "Shade-tree" mechanic-ing, but it made a good showing of itself against the Kiwa...Naturally, when I went to grab a couple more, they'd been discontinued, so typical of RatShak...Excuse me, CELL-FONE Shak...(grin)
