[R-1051] R-1051G manual on line

[Bob kb8tq]

Hi

The RF-550 was a proposed replacement before the 590. The 590 came along when the RFP was
expanded to include replacing the R-390.

Most of the replacement radios for the 1051 had the same basic design limits. You punch in a frequency and let it sit. Band cruising was not a required feature.
