The S-38D was my first real SW radio. While my very first radio (a Magnavox CR-181 chassis and speakers) had a SW band, the S-38D just seemed (at the time) like the kind of radio one would want for true SW listening.

Yes, I know there are better communications receivers, but the S-38D was the first radio I had owned that had a BFO so that I could actually hear what those hams were saying when they broadcast using SSB. To a 16 year old kid, that was a very neat thing indeed.

I don't have mine anymore...sold it many years ago.

I don't think the S-38D is a particularly valuable radio, and you should not have much trouble finding one at a reasonable price, Music.
