[R-390] R-390A AC FILTER

[Llgpt@aol.com]

Many of the R-390A's that went through the depots towards the end of the 
utilization of the R-390A/URR by the military had this modification done at 
the depots. I have had two different 67 EAC's that had this done.

<< I wonder if anyone has any opinions on using one of those IEC-type 
connectors 
on the back of an R-390A radio for a line-cord input? I have one R-390A that 
someone had modified this way and really like it. A typical IEC 3-prong plug 
will fit through the original mounting hole so the IEC connector can be 
mounted flush on the inside of the back panel without having to enlarge the 
hole. This takes care of grounding the set also when the connector is 
properly bonded to the chassis. I know at least one mail-order house that has 
the IEC input connectors with a Line-Filter built-in with a 3-AMP rating for 
about 2-3 bucks each. It is really nice to be able to unplug the line cord 
when moving or working on the set and not have the cord getting in the way. 
Properly done the mod looks very nice. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
