Well, I found that the Hong Kong models are better RF performers than the
Malaysian ones. I don't know any more though.

A while back I read some information about the various versions of the
GE SRII...the differnet letter suffixes, and theh date codes and seial
number ranges, plus where the varouis versions were made and which
were supposedly the best.

I can't find that info now...does anyone know where that info is or
can they pass it along?

Thanks,

Jay




All the SRI/II radios are equally capable. The difference is the care taken
with pre-market alignment. I've found some out of the box that could be
bettered by at least 6dB by a simple RF/IF alignment. Problem is, as with
most radios starting in the mid 1970's, that 'alignment' on the assembly
line amounted to setting the RF/IF transformers and trimmer caps to the same
physical position. Good practice in theory, not so good in practice.
