[R-390] What is the difference between 390 and 390A

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Quick score card:

R390 not an A = IF filters are easier on the ears for AM
R390A = Narrow band settings are best for congested bands on AM, 
especially below 8 MHz.
R390, 390A = better for stability, set them on channel and they don't 
drift ever.
HQ180 = easier for band cruising. Especially true of bands that lap 
over a MC boundary.
HQ180 = better on SSB (without any mods)

Obviously the answer is that you need several of all three.

	Take Care!
