[R-390] The fabulous & desirable CV-116 (was: More dweedle-dweedle)

[David Ross]

R-390 folks -

  OK, now one of the faithful has revealed himself -  an FRR-38 even. 
Bill Neill's CV-116 is a fine system indeed, and is an appropriate &
desirable companion to any R-390 family radio.
  Better yet if you can use the CV-116 in tandem with it's younger
brother, the CV-157...  (The CV-116 does the dual diversity thing -  too
bad the CV-157 doesn't...)

  William, I trust that you use the CV-116 with an appropriate printer,
something like a Model 28ASR...  Have fun with it all, please don't ask
me to help you when you are gonna move...

all the best
