[R-390] Searching: R-390A & Signal Generator

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Depending on the local market and possibly the phase of the moon 
URM-25's and HP-606's move around relative to each other. Both are fine 
generators for setting up a R-390. About all you might need to go with 
them is a single pad in the 6 to 20 db range. A lot of people run them 
with no pad at all.

A VTVM is about the only other "major" piece of test gear that you need 
for an R-390. Nothing fancy is required, the auction sites have a 
number of them pretty darn cheap these days.

	Take Care!
