Greetings, and welcome, Mike.

Fair Radio has always lived up to their name, in their pricing and
after-sale support.  You can find 390's at hamfests, and various 'net places
(ebay, newsgroups, mail lists, even *this* list) but these venues require a
bit more patience and luck!

The mod you refer to is the Dallas Lankford mod.  His mod is generally
recognized as a simple, effective, reversable one that works well.  Dallas
frequents the list here so he might comment, unless he is busy swatting
those Louisiana state birds.

I'll let others comment on how best to use a TR switch.  I just run 100
watts and blast away at a couple of diodes back to back on the antenna
input.
