[R-390] That's more like it!!!

[Gregory Mengell]

Late night question for the List.Who knows the history of the R388 /51J4 or
51J3. Strengths and shortcomings?It seems they kind of overlapped for a
brief period of time with the R 390 rx. The R390 replaced them in the GRC
26D. I realize the R 390 family is a more sophisticated rx ,What is the list
opinion on the other R 390 cousin? 73 Gregory
