[R-390] Re: Crystal calibrator issues on some bands

[AdamAnt316@aol.com]

An update... I turned on the 390A to test Glenn's theory, and for some strange reason, the calibration points have somehow reappeared on those bands from which they were formerly missing. The only difference in operation was that I had my 390A plugged directly into the wall when I wasn't getting the calibration points on those bands, and had it plugged into a variac device when they came back (to go along with the recent variac discussion, I have so far been almost exclusively powering it up by variac with the function switch in the AGC position). I I did seem to notice that those bands weren't getting any reception during the time that there were no calibration points, though I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be anything on at least some of them (usually, when listening this radio, I tend to stay below 10MC). If anything else comes up with this issue, I will report it.
