[R-390] antenna trim red dot

[Cecil Acuff]

Greetings,

        I have fallen right into that trap Barry! (blw) Yes siree Bob.
Jumped all over a note a while back about something or other.....went about
three rounds before I figured out what was being discussed was the R-390 not
the "A" which is the only one of the two that I have even the slightest
experience with.  Had to back out of that one gracefully. (NOT)  I'm sure I
was laughed at in several languages.  A "NON-A" flag would have helped me on
that one. It no doubt was my problem but any help to make it clear is to
everyone's advantage.

No big deal....I just have to look a little harder at the posts before I
jump in to offer my 2 cents worth.

I think the secret to surviving on these lists is to be forgiving enough of
the differences in people and not let those differences get under your skin.
If a guy is off in left field far enough the masses will let him know in due
course.   Live and Let Live....a good philosophy.

And Jim...I am glad you put the question to a panel (engraved or not) of
experts and they didn't have a problem with how we refer to them!  Works for
me!


Cecil...
