Well, the nomenclature would depend on which of the two radios that  
would be converted, so the R-390 would end up being the R-390B and  
the R-390A would end up as and R-390C, then there are things such as  
fully synthesizing it - internally, not like the GRC-129, so I  
suppose that would add another letter.  Then there is the Keilbasa  
ballast mod...
