>> Not sure of the age or condition of your 390, but you might also just try pulling and reseating P120/J620 on the audio chassis.  Among other stuff, this connector carries the operating voltage to the Break-in relay, K-602.  (K-601 is actually the squelch relay).  Both relays just ground the audio out from the AF amplifier V-601 through the interstage transformer T-601.
