[R-390] Repaired 390 non a

Sat, 28 Jun 2003 21:09:49 -0500

I think a fairer comparison would be to stand the restored 07 up against a
restored 390A.  My understanding is that the Mish or Rippel "massaged"
R-390A performs very differently than a stock surplus R-390A.  Those guys
know how to tweak the last bit of performance out of those radio's.

I know there are more than a few guys on this list that can attest to that
fact!
