[R-390] The R-390 Cookbook by A.J. Carmody: Beware!

[David C. Hallam]

I agree with you but some of it may have to do with the ridiculous prices
most sellers are asking for the adapters.  I have about every sort of
between the series adapters you could imagine from hardline on down for
either antenna jack, but I bought them years ago when you could get them for
50 cents at your local surplus electronics parts place.  I think I might
baulk at paying $30 for an adapter.
