[R-390] R-390A & CV-591

[Jim Brannigan]

With the '390 humming along, I pulled the CV-591, replaced the paper caps
and aligned it. (then went back in and found the wire I disconnected when
pulling caps.)
The CV-591 is working much better, but I am getting a lot of distortion on
strong SSB signal peaks (and this is with the 15ft. shop wire) backing off
the RF gain takes care of this, but that shouldn't be necessary except on
the strongest signals.
I added the Ripple 2 diode MOD. to the R-390A AGC circuit, so the R-390A
attack time should be OK.
Anyhow, I can't tell if the problem is in the R-390A or the CV-591......

I'm looking for some subjective comments from CV-591 users.  How does your
CV-591 "play" with the R-390A?
Are you experiencing SSB peak distortion?
Thanks,
Jim
