Hello to the list.As most of you know I have several R 390A recievers 
and also have acquired  about 10 FRR 59A/B recievers in varying states 
of repair.I have two runnibg well and am looking to ressurect a couple 
more. And in a month or so offer spare modules. What I am looking for is 
any info  besides the TM. I would like assistance in determining how 
many were made ,how they were deployed and general info on how long they 
remained in service.Any first hand experience from Operators, Techs or 
Listmembers would be deeply appreciated.Some years ago a member posted a 
Navy Photo of a Ships Radio central using the R 390+CV 591 as well as 
the WRR 2 -FRR-59A.Would that person pls contact me.Please reply off 
list.I would be glad to share all info I get with the list
