[R-390] 725/URR

Sun, 3 Feb 2002 06:51:00 -0800 (PST)

Fabio and Group,

The R-725/URR is a R-390A with the main difference being the replacement of the
IF deck with a R-390 style tuned circuit IF deck.  This was for use in DF sets.
 The radios were modified by Arvin and Servo, with a few modified by Motorola. 
There is also a PTO hum bucking mod.  Make no mistake, the IF deck in the 725
is not interchangeable with the R-390 (although they look 99.5% alike).

The R-725 is reltively rare, less than 1000 made I estimate, so it is worth
more than a 390A on the market.

For a given condition, given our economy etc, I'd say about 50% more than the
equivalent 390A.

I had one and regret selling it because of the great sound it produced, so I
made my own and that is what I use now.
