[R-390] PTO

[David Medley]

David,
There are 3 things you have to do to convert and R-390A PTO to an R-390.
1. Shorten the output cable and replace the mini BNC with a regular BNC, This is not as easy as it sounds as the cable in the R-390A is a mini coax and it is not easy to attach a full size BNC. If I had to do this I would replace the whole cable assembly.
2. The pinout in the power plug is different and has to be rewired. This should not be difficult.but be careful. It is easy to damage these connectors with too much heat.
3 You will have to replace the rear mounting plate.
 
If you decide to go ahead with this I have some junk PTOs here and can probably come up with a rear mounting plate and an output cable.
