[Boatanchors] R-390A

[Jim Brannigan]

Congratulations, you have the most over-hyped radio on the planet....
A Google search of "R-390A" will return hundreds of pages....
Get the manual and play with it...it is an analog computer and the best of 
50-60's technology.
I tell visitors it is a "spy" radio and the CIA does not know I have it....
It works well on 75M AM, but mostly on AM broadcast.......
