Hi

One thing I should have added but forgot to before. (Must be a bad 
brand of Tequila ...)

We never ever run the heaters on R390's any more. Even Nanuck the 
Eskimo decided to turn off his last year when they put central heat in 
the igloo. This drops the power consumption of the radio by quite a 
bit. Less power equals a smaller line fuse.

You can cut the size of the line fuse almost in half and get away with 
it if you are running a slow blow fuse. I normally check the junk box 
and use what ever is handy. This is a very cheap "conversion" and might 
save having to fix some major damage to a radio ...

	Take Care!
