[R-390] SSB and the 390

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends,

Had several supporting notes...Thank you..The listen
and set technique will work...

And:

Several also mentioned many additions that are
possible, like modern mods, freq. readouts etc. These
are in many cases very nice indeed; however, my aim
with the BA's is to use it the way it was..I don't 
even want a converter, as it takes the initial sig.
and then does with it as it wishes, (or you wish,
as it were..) I don't want to have what I still do
believe is the BEST rec. ever built, in the 390
non a..(I know what you are going to say..but if
you prefer Harris, Digimon, or Rhody Shorts, thats
ok), and not use ALL of it, ALL the time..That to 
me is what it's all about. I don't want to sub in
some other device...(boy, I will be called down on
this, I guess)

I also need to clarify a few things.. and maybe some
others will add the truth sometime:

There are many methods of radio comm..And some are
interested in them. I am thinking of AM, PM, DSB,
FAX. etc, but the correct tuning tech. remains
of importance even with the best equipment...for
example you have to tune right for FSK... If you
are dependent upon this comm, then it is best to
have the best equip. available, but that doesn't
mean that you can't use more simple equip. with
some success, if you are interested enough. I listen
to AM'ers and have few complaints about bandwidth,
myself, but I am not trying to communicate...I just
listen. Some persons who are trying to communicate do
have a lot of trouble if people are splashing all over
the place... Courtesy would seem to be one of the
things some don't often enough consider and follow.. 
........I hear a lot of deliberate interference..
"cussing" and just BADD operating technique..
Communications by radio frequency has become a
wasteland on some ham bands...What think you??

You need at least the r-390 to separate the diff.
combatants it seems...

Where do you tune up???

Are you one of them??? (sorry for the tirade...I
just happened to hear a lot of bad stuff last nite...)

This having been said, I assume you know some of this
is tongue in, well, whatever...just to keep someone
talking...  Can't stand too much off subject matter,
which is why I never feel bad about the returns from
the opinion/attitude graveyard...The re-hash is a
reminder of what is REALLY fun in communications...
and thats opinions..Mostly about the r-390..Of course,
some will think my tirade off subject...Oh well..

And :: some of the 6 who wrote me...you could also
write the list..

Best regards,  !!

John

PS...what a great list, or whatever...
