[R-390] Big Mistake Please Help

[Steve Modena, AB4EL]

I showed the question from Ronnie to an R-390 fiend.

The answer is:

     "The R390 RF deck is set to 8MHz  or 07+000 .
     "The pto should be set to 2455kc  with a freq. counter or another receive.
     "When  the RF deck is on freq. 8MHz./07+000 all the cams should be on 
target."
                     73   George
