[R-390] R-390 and "headin west.."

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends,

Quick note so you won't think I am crazy, when you see
more postings...WON'T GET to head west now...med. prob
must be addressed first. Just found out..Maybe can go
in Sept, and will stop and see a few who invited
me..will write later..

Also thanks to Forrest Myers and H.D. Rawls, for
support (and memory factors) for the use of the 390
series..It is as I exp. it...as well as surveillance
(in my experience field probs).I saw them used w/outbd
conv. for VHF as well, but don't know anything about
The setup   .. Anyone?? Used them in "second" person
as NCOIC for a few probs, one in Watertown..(Guess you
don't want to get back on that, huh?) (I was in Armor,
and for a short time, so never went overseas..was in
reserves the longest of my time, which was where I did
field probs for Summer and special assignment..I was
NOT Sig. Corps.)

Forgive me for ref. to mil. use a lot...(I still have
my list of correspondants about their exp. that we
messed around with a few yrs ago...), but mil. use
was, after all, "first cause.." It still is of
interest to me..Don't know as much about other units,
like the 392 as I need to know..Am running off
material now on the 392..Mean to get one sometime.

Have a new picture of a Ft. Mon. console I found, but
don't ask for it as I have no scanner..Has a Halli.
and a 390 non a visible...Another I found has a, what
I believe is the Halli. version of the SP 600. (and I
forget the mil. designation for those radios..my mind
is getting old ...) It also shows some test
equipment..all from Monmouth.. 

Would like to get a copy of one of the Osterman recv.
books, if anyone wants to do away with one..tell me
how much, w/ship and I will send..

Like to point out...My 390 is doing great, and the BFO
is really "tight" since the re-build. I get within the
visual resolution poss. for freq, when someone I am
listening to gives his freq. (Speaking here of SSB...)
Mine is exact w/BFO plus or minus one K but that may
vary a little for different radios..(BFO neut. enters
into this I believe)? I am no tech, I leave that to
those of you who understand it...

And yes, Cpl. Stone may be related to a Sgt. ...

Sorry my "muddlings" are so long..

Thanks for your past help!!!  John  (JLAP)
