Jim, 
 
I just worked DXCC on RTTY with my R390A.  In six months,  by the  way.
 
I find that my R390A is very stable, selective, and sensitive.  I can  leave 
it on a frequency and know that it will be there hours and days  later.  I can 
work contests and easily separate signals and work through  the QRM.  I can 
work with weak and fading signals and still have readable  print on the 
Teletype.
 
So, in my case, your statement "...The R-390A is also useless for the Ham  
Bands (except AM)..."  does not apply.
 
73,
