Hey Don, here's my 2 cent guesses:

PAN OUT  = Panadapter Output, meaning it is a pick off for an input to a
panadapter or spectrum analyzer, probably from a variable IF or fixed 455 KC
IF.

X UA IN  = eXternal or auXilary Unbalanced Input, meaning that it is used as
an RF input to the receiver, probably at a high impedance point. Be careful
with this one, if it is directly connected to the calibrator input to the RF
deck then it will be HOT with B+ (one of the quirks of the R-390).

73,
John
