[R-390] Average Ham Shack

There has always been a lot of "talk" regarding the use of R-390As in a 
ham shack.

I find many comments to be very odd.

IF you can't get it to work for you on CW and SSB, maybe you ought to 
give it away or sell it.

The intercept operators had NO problem with doing JUST those tasks.

I may only be licensed for a hair over 29 years, BUT, I've been running 
R-390As for ALL modes with NO problems OR issues!

It doesn't take a "Amateur" community design to do the job!

My $0.02 worth!
