[R-390] Cap Question

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

Fellow's

This is a military receiver.
It has / had a logistic support system that spans the planet.
As many common parts are used as possible.

Do you really understand how many of your tax dollars are needed
every time some engineer introduces another part into any military design.

As part of the R390 to R390/A cost reduction program, all the parts
would have been reviewed and common parts used. We could use
lower voltage rated cap in many places in the receiver. 

But that a part on a drawing, parts lines of ink in parts manuals.
parts laying on depot shelves. More items to get shipped wrong.

The driving factors are logistic cost not electronic design.
