I can attest to that. The MARS shack at Osan AB (K-55) was 
dumping all their R-390 and R-390A receivers into a Dumpster.
I asked about this, and was told that I could have as many as 
I wanted. I had turned my hold baggage in the previous day, for
return from TDY at Osan, and so couldn't do a damn thing. 

Even then I knew how good they were. *sigh*
