[R-390] R-390(x) receiver shipping boxes

[Barry]

The last R390A I bought came rolled in used carpet pad.  That stuff works
pretty good as a packing material, is dense enough to absorb a lot of shock
(provided you include several layers), and is cheap.  Of course, you have to
account for several layers making the box the radio goes into quite a bit
larger.
