[R-390] 390() vs 390(A) vs 389

[John KA1XC]

Glen, I agree about LF it ain't like it used to be. But regarding modifying
it, quite simply the radio would end up being destroyed, in a futile attempt
to change a rare piece of radio gear into another piece that is commonly
available. You could easily trade or sell that R-389 one for the equivalent
of 2, 3, or 4 R-39xx depending on their condition.
73,
John

Since there is so little activity on the LF/VLF bands and my 389 has not
been getting much exercise, I was wondering how much rework, modification,
etc to bring it onto the HF Band?  Has anyone attempted this challenge?   In
other words upgrade it to a R-390A.  Hope everone had a wonderful Christmas,
and a restful holiday. May the New Year bring each of you PEACE and
PROSPERITY.
