Hi All,

I am doing initial tests on my first R-390(none A). There are no
problems, as yet, other than a complete a complete alignment that is
needed. The radio seems to be working. Band 0 operates. Local radio
stations are heard but off frequency.

As part of an experiment with a solid state replacement for the 26Z5s
and the 6082s I need to know the actual current for the +180VDC for a
properly operating radio. I realize that the original design
documentation indicate that the P/S was designed for 200 MA. Any help
would be much appreciated. I have started initial tests on the radio
with the solid state replacement. The PTO end points adjustments are
going very well.

Barry H. This is the beginning of article  that I committed to last
winter.
