[R-390] Is it Imperial or Motorola ?

[Cecil Acuff]

I guess everybody has Fowler on the brain....

You did mean Imperial as your subject line states...right?

It's very likely that the radio went through Depot at some time during it's 
military service.  As I understand it they remove the tags as part of the 
Depot work and when all the work is complete just grab the first tag in the 
bin that will fit and slap it back on the front.....with no regard for it's 
original origin or modules installed....

Maybe others can speculate better than I....

Only thing I can speculate with reasonable certainty is that you meant 
Imperial.....:-)

  A while back I was given an R390-A receiver from the estate of an SK 
friend of mine. When Bob was alive he often referred to this receiver as 
being made by Motorola but has Fowler stamped several places on it. Bob was 
usually pretty accurate about things radio related so I wonder if Fowler and 
Motorola were in business with each other?
