Hello All, I was recently given an R390-A made by Motorola I believe. The radio seems to work quite well and is even tolerable to listen to SSB with once tuned properly. The dial readout on my unit seems to be out of sync though. If I want to listen to
say 3.930 Mhz I need to set the Megacycle dial at 4 and the kilocycle at -930. In fact the kilocycle dial seems to only tune from about -900 or so to 900 and I can never get as far to bring up the + flag or indicator. I have removed the mechanical readout and can turn it by hand throught out the entire range and bring up the - and + indicators at both ends so I know it isn't binding.
Thank You
