[R-390] Another BA

[Gene Beckwith]

Jim,

There were other modles of the Scotts too...Have two SLRM types...also said to
have served on the "Liberty Ships" as moral radios...per the note that alreadys
said they shielded local oscilators...detectable at some distance by German U
Boats...

They are not rare, but nice to find and acquire...I'm looking for a schematic
for mine...one has distorted audio...but hate to go fishing without a road
map...

73,

Gene
