[R-390] 8kHz filter was Leonid meteor shower

[Todd Bigelow - PS]

Tom -

Have you tried Fair Radio Sales in Ohio? They've had these in the past, wouldn't
suprise me if they still did. A friend of mine has a box of NOS R-390A filters
in his cellar that I'm trying to talk him out of. They came from a base closing
somewhere, he bought a bunch of the stuff surplus. If I ever get my mitts on
'em, I'll certainly post the contents here.

Nice to see another user who knows the difference between the R-390 and "A"
model, too!

73 es gud luk
