[R-390] Gain Problem Cont.

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends,

First of all, I would like to thank those who had a
suggestion for my recent problem. To refresh, The
PHONES jack on the front of my 390 non a was running
wide open, rather than controlled by the LOCAL GAIN on
the front panel. I failed to notice until I tried to
use for SWL in chasing a station I found on the
600...The reason I missed it.. , the 390 was running
through a fairly elaborate rec. amp/mon. and I was
using that gain and the RF on the 390 to follow
SSB/ham activity on 75M, (tho' I do remember thinking
the background was more than "summer" noisy..)

I was using headphones on the 600, and just plugged
them directly into the 390 when I tried the SWL. (By
the way, they are 16 ohm...?? O.K.  ?)

The "temporary "fix" until I can get some help to get
it back out of the rack: suggested by one of our
posters..Use the terminals #'s 10 and 13, for line
audio. This would allow the line gain pot to control
the output to whatever...!

In fact it works just FINE, and no noise at all from
the receiver, which is very quiet and sen. now..I do
need to add that I listen at a very low level, as I
did in Mil. pratice, w/'phones...

QUESTION to all: Is this O.K. to do? Will I hurt the
radio, or, less important, the headphones?

Thanks very much for kind thoughts...

My Regards,    John     (JLAP)
