Ferrite beads, where?  I have the R-725 drawings and there are no ferrite

to be found.
Also the tuned circuit IF decks were specially made for the R-725.  They did
not use decks from the R-390 (although I have done that myself and it works
great).
Here are the simple steps necessary to roll your own R-725 style IF deck form 
a
junker R-390.

Winter is coming.  Everyone needs a good project.


Tom,
       Thanks for the great step-by-step directions to convert an existing 
R-390A into an R-725 "clone" using an R-390 IF deck.  I have a spare R-390 IF 
deck I have been saving for just such a project so it will be a breeze using 
your instructions for the conversion. This will make a good late-summer project 
also. Thanks again! 73 Todd WD4NGG
