[R-390] Please spare us

[Bill Levy]

I agree.
Enough about which radio, religion, war, peoples, business, hobby is best.
Its all unproven and unprovable.

We have freedom of speech in this country. That is not a right to beat a 
dead horse over and over.
At some point abusers are carried off to the loony bin

All of the arguments about which one is better the R390/URR or the R390A/URR 
at this point in time
is foolish.  Both radios filled a military specification and both did their 
jobs very well.  Instead of arguing which
radio is better the discussion show center on what is different and why they 
are different. I look upon old radios as a kind of historical document.  You 
are looking at the expression of electronic engineers of the past.
so instead of some of the pointless arguments we have this forum let us 
discuss why Collins radio did what they did. Fortunately at least for 
Collins Radio this type of documentation has been collected and published. 
I wish there was similar documentation about rigs like the Lysco model 600 
Transmaster which has to be one of the worst transmitters ever produced for 
sale, the engineers who designed this turd must have been drunk.
