[R-390] re; R211

[Craig C. Heaton]

At least for the R-390A, turning the heater switch off, located on the back
panel; only turns off the heater for the PTO & crystal oscillator deck.
HR202 should control at about 75 degrees C  the entire time which the
receiver is on. 

Craig,

I always though in order to prevent frying the crystal you have to turn the

heater off. That was one of the first things I learned when I got my R390A
