[R-390] RF Deck: 8-16 mHz synchronization question

[Tom M.]

Dear Tom/KE4RHH,

My book says to set that one (8-16)first.  That is because I wrote it in my
book many years ago.  This "feature" you discovered is not addressed in the
manual.

Plan to adjust all of the cams, and simply do 8-16 Mhz first.  Then do all the
others independently.

Cheers!
