[R-390] More dweedle-dweedle

[William J. Neill]

I do it the hard way.  I run RTTY traffic through my two R390A's and a
CV-116B and can run solid copy for hours.  Signal drift or fading doesn't
bother me and the CV-116B does a good job of producing a good, solid DC TTY
signal.  I have one other AN/FRR-38 for the same purpose only I use one
R390A and a 51J4 and had to do a crystal modification to the CV-116C for it
to accept the 500kc IF signal output of the 51J4 but the TM made the change
a piece of cake.  I have one other mophodite FRR-38 in that I am using two
R391's and a CV-116B and it does full business, too.
