[R-390] OT

[wb5uom at hughes.net]

My ex wife said I never made myself clear... guess its true. I should have
said I have never bought anything from Radio Shack to go on or in a
Commercial Radio System.

Although  I am aware of someone buying a el cheepo uhf 90 degree adapter for
a UHF commercail repeater. It made me some  money later when it failed.
Cut it open to find that the 90 degrees inside was made by slipping what
looked like a spring from a fountain pen onto the respective center pins on
each end of the 90 !!! Great for UHF!
