[R-390] antenna trim red dot

[Jim Simmons]

Barry and the Group,

I was not trying to be a hard-ass, and I do enjoy the humor in this group.
It just that, why don't a person just say what they mean? If it a 390, then
just say 390. If it's a 390A, then just say 390A . I will agree, doing that
will take away all the mystery in just trying to figure out what they are
talking about. A lot a good stuff is said here, some humorist, some not. I
enjoy the group, but if stating my opinion causes some of you to want me to
leave this group, Good-By!
