[R-390] Powering PTO's out of circuit

Has anyone on the list powered an R-392 PTO out of the receiver?  I
constructed a simple fixture using a Heath IP-17 power supply and
frequency counter for setting end points and have used it successfully
with R-390A and R-390 PTOs, but have been unable to get an R-392 PTO
to run out of circuit.  Perhaps it has something to do with the 26D6
serving double-duty as an oscillator/mixer.  Attached are the pin-outs
I'm using on all three.

Thank you.
