[R-390] Russian R-155 RX

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Now don't get this thread confused with the "Hank is Crazy" thread. 
That one has a life all it's own. It is only eclipsed by the "all R390 
nuts in South Western CT are crazy" thread.

I'm not sure I would want to see a rack capable of supporting a ton or 
two. It alone would be a work of industrial engineering. From what I 
have seen of Russian engineering I would not put a 6K pound radio past 
them. If they decided that was what they needed they would have done 
it. Cost to design and cost to produce were not limiting factors if 
there was a need.

	Take Care
