<FONT SIZE=+2>I think I am running suitable printers with my three FRR-38's:
two 60wpm Model 15's, one 75wpm Model 15, one 100wpm Model 28KSR, and one
100wpm TT-100 which is a monster to maintain but I have the necy TM's for
every item of equipment I own and a reasonably adequate parts supply.
On a blustery, drizzley day like today, there's nothing quite so scintillating
as the odor of very warm R390A's, the subdued sound of the dweedle-dweedle
coming from the speakers, the sound and odor of a Model 15 clunking and
chunking away, and to watch the ma meters on the CV-116B swing in unison
with every shift of the signal. Some things in life never grow old;
just better.</FONT><FONT SIZE=+2></FONT>

<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>R-390 folks -
<P> OK, now one of the faithful has revealed himself - an FRR-38
even.
<BR>Bill Neill's CV-116 is a fine system indeed, and is an appropriate
&
<BR>desirable companion to any R-390 family radio.
<BR> Better yet if you can use the CV-116 in tandem with it's younger
<BR>brother, the CV-157... (The CV-116 does the dual diversity thing
- too
<BR>bad the CV-157 doesn't...)
<P> William, I trust that you use the CV-116 with an appropriate
printer,
<BR>something like a Model 28ASR... Have fun with it all, please
don't ask
<BR>me to help you when you are gonna move...
<P>all the best

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