[R-390] antenna trim red dot - "nonA"

[John KA1XC]

I often refer to my R-390 as the R-390 (original), but
nonA, no A, pre-A, A-1 are all fine too   :^)

Overly precise types (like I can be) may get irritated but the models are so
often confused that in my thinking an intentional emphasis of the nonA part
help keep things straight and adds a measure distinction and honor to the
original radio. (Another way you can look at it is that it's like adding
some parity bits to the name)

I know AM op's who go *out of there way* to let you know they are listening
on a non-A so that you know you are being heard through the better sounding
IF filters.
