I think the math works out something like

R-390A + R-390A x R-392 = R-390.

There's another formula with the ARR-41, but it escapes me now.

You're theory on additonal radios is too complex though, Jon. My theory is,
fill the place up with as much as it'll hold, a few more in the garage for
good harmonious balance, then go searching for the ones you need badly. Joe
Foley has been practicing this approach and seems to be meeting with success.

Roy Morgan is stopping by for a visit tonight, so I'll get his input on the
math equations. All I know for sure is that when I set up the rack with the
R-390A in it, the rack just snickered. When I added the SP-600 it took notice,
and when I put the R-390 in, it groaned and creaked, maybe cursed a few times
too.
