[R-390] 390 SSB

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends,

Thankful to encounter some tuning SSB "freehand" as it
were....

My time in mil. required a bit of "ad. lib." at times,
and we used a # of methods to get good SSB...Always
appreciate those who understand the subject..Also the
few who understand "freehand" or "manual" alignment.
I do understand that we are talking people like me,
that are "older than dirt"..many of us wouldn't be
caught dead trying to work on one of these beasts..
(before someone asks..when I was in mil. ser.there was
very little SSB and the converters were not seen much
'till a few years later, but some agencys were moving 
to SSB pretty fast...so we listened best we could..)

(SORRY ABOUT THE NEXT STUFF.....)

Also, will complain again about the ones who don't 
recognize that there is no such thing as a 390 "non a"
(and I was called down for saying it, (last posting),
several times)...since I complained a lot before..It 
must seem to some that I am confused, and maybe I am.
(I used it 'cause I disobeyed myself...indeed..)

I have it there are a # of diff. 3(XX) radios, two of
which are  the r390, and the r390a.  It would seem to
me since these are those  most commonly found..(seems
there were some 15000 390 and 65000 390a units made(?)
, that we should call the 390 simply 390, and the 390a

WITH THE A... You should know that starting some 20
or more years ago with Mr. Mish, and down to the
present time, I have been mis-read by not putting non
a.. Why should I? There is noooo such thing.. Well in
any event, I have had 3 persons write who believe that
the radio I want to take to someone for repair is  the
390a nomen. no, its a 390....(!!!!)(32 tubes orig)

Are we ever going to get past this?? and if you want
to call me a curmudgeon, or worse, O.K..(I thought my
name was "hey, you" 'till I was 7...)There are others
on this list who are called MANY things...

As for the Jag.. was there life after XKE??

My Regards,

Old John
