[R-390] Repaired 390 non a

My EK 07 is not restored. I bought a stock  07 receiver in Germany 3 years
ago, in absolutely mint condition, and I'm comparing it against my 2 mint
stock R-390's, as well as their specs on paper.

The superior performance of the EK 07 notwithstanding, it's much more
difficult to service, troubleshoot and properly align than the R-390A. It
doesn't fit a standard 19"" rack and probably won't take the abuse the 390
family can take in a military environment. The EK 07 was designed for fixed
locations.

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.
