[R-390] Correction in My ER Article

[William G Feldmann]

Hi All,

I made a big P/N goof in my R-390A article in the September issue of
Electric Radio.  I just found out about it when I returned this week from my
New Mexico vacation.  It was my fault not being more careful re-looking up
the part number after doing the modification and loosing the bag with the
part number the relay came in.

I mistakenly listed in the text for the product detector modification a 8ma.
coil relay instead of the 5ma. one I used.  The right Mouser P/N is
653-G6A-274P40-DC48.  But if someone has already ordered the wrong relay it
will work fine if a 22K coil resistor is used in place of the 39K in the
schematic for R2B.  Also I used a 5 watt metal film resistor for R2B because
I happened to have one and not a 2 watt that is smaller and will work fine
since the required dissipation is only .94 watts.  So a 2 watt will work
fine for R2B if you have one or are ordering the resistor.

There will be a correction in the October issue but just wanted to give
those of you on the reflector a heads up because some of you may be the most
likely to use the modification.  Also readers seem to often miss the
corrections.  Next time I'll be more careful.
