[R-390] R-392 v. R-390

[jms430 at verizon.net]

When I was able to stop at the hamfeast in Lima, there was two 
R-392's on the work bench.  So, one month ago there was two.

By the way, I'm visiting in Jacksonville, FL, and don't know 
where to find parts, test gear, or R-390A stuff.  My wife wants 
to go back to Ohio on Wednesday.  Any ideas where to look.  The 
guards at Mayport Navel Station were helpful, but were not any 
help for the tube type stuff. 

I'm new at this, so please excuse the questions.
