[R-390] Service Monitor

[Chuck Rippel]

We have one stashed away here at work and with good reason.  In a word, 
they suck, in my opinion anyway.  We changed to Marconi's some years ago.

Beyond that, for working on vintage equipment, there is little utility in a service 
monitor.  They are very expensive and are mostly aimed at the 2-Way FM 
market.  Pick up an HP606B or and 8640B and you'll do just fine.
