Wouldn't be a '390' if it didn't make that lovely, complex machine-y
"sound" while idling thru the bands, looking for an SSB/QRM-less window in
the AM window.
Although the previous suggestion of an all-vacuum tube BFO pitch display
might be alluring... and I think it could be done nearer the 30-tube
figure, counting the Nixies for display.
