[R-390] R390 IF strip conversion

[Dan Merz]

Hi,  I strongly recommend the ER article by Tom.  I successfully did this
conversion and was very pleased with the result.  It's stayed installed since I
made the conversion.   The toughest part for me,  besides finding the 390 i.f.
chassis in the first place and soldering in cramped quarters,  was finding the
adapters for BNC to mini MB connectors for the two cables.  Since then they are
showing up on eBay all the time,  under $20 each - I made mine up using a small
junction box with  2 chassis mount mini connectors from Fair Radio connected
directly to the bnc cable coming thru small holes in the box going to bnc
connectors on the other ends of the cables.  The adapter you need is the type
that is chassis mounted on the 390a for the i.f. output at the rear if you don't
want to fuss with building a box like I did. Hope this helps,  Dan.
