[R-390] Standy or Off?

[charles bolland]

Hi all,

I didn't realize this was such a sensitive subject.  With all of the
responsives, I am more uncertain about what I should do than I was when I
first asked the question?  Since I don't want a fire - (I live in a mobile
home) - I think I will turn the R390A on and off.  My listening habits are
so critical that I need  perfect reception immediately when I turn the
receiver on.

Thanks

Chuck
