[R-390] Big Mistake Please Help

[Dennis L. Wade]

Ronnie,

         I am in the almost exact same position...I have my RF deck 
out for cleaning and recapping and I'm sure the PTO isn't where I 
left it.  I've been looking at the manual anticipating doing just 
what's been suggested...lining it up with a broadcast station or 
using the freq counter.  Unless you've cranked the PTO way too far 
either way I'm sure you haven't ruined anything.  I really don't know 
how you could avoid re syncing the PTO after removing the RF deck.

        Good work...and good question!  You beat me to it.

           Dennis
