No that's not true there were a lot of radios as good if not better in
performance than the 28. One for instance is the Hammarlund Super Pros

that
were mass produced and served the same purpose and the great HROs. The

looks
of the SX-28 is what makes it desirable along with its great audio. That's
what made them popular with Military and FCC monitors was they were less
fatiguing to listen to. Its arguably the best looking boatanchor of all

time
too. But its not rare and its the one radio if asked to be found can be.
I've restored several SX-28s and SX-28As and they always seem to find

their
way into my shack.
