I fondly recall my old SX-28; I don't recall, but I may have bought it from 
the chap who introduced me
to ham radio...?! It served me well, but I no longer recall what I did with 
it after I was gifted with the
SX-101...?! All this went on in 1957 or 58, which accounts for my spotty 
memory (along with a
serious head injury back in early 1997...?!)
