[R-390] Possible Fowler Manual

[Les Locklear]

That is the manual that was furnished with the Fowler R-390A's. It does have the latest changes/updates, most of which were incorporated into the Y2K manual which is available online here:  http://www.r-390a.net/faq-refs.htm

Scroll down and you will see it.

   Hello Group,

  I have what I believe to be a 1985 Fowler Technical manual for the R 390A but I could be wrong. It is in a blue plastic binder copyright 1985. 

  The manual has the following Manual number on the top outside:
  EE125-AB-OMI-010/P610  R390A/URR. 

  Near the bottom is the statement: 
  This manual superseded's Navelex 0967-LP-063-2010 of 15 April 1970 including Interim Changes T-1 through T-7.

  At the very bottom of the outside front is printed: 
  PUBLISHED BY DIRECTION OF, COMMANDER, SPACE & NAVEL WARFARE SYSTEMS COMMAND,

  My conclusion that this manual was written for the 10) Fowler units ordered by the Navy is based on the above info. I don't see the name Fowler listed anywhere in the manual. 
  I have a number of R 390A manuals and don't find anything particularly exciting or different from those manuals in this edition. 
  No pictures of beautiful girls in tight bikinis setting in front of a 390A intensely, listening to very high speed CW or old F at rts complaining about their gall bladder surgeries, although that would have been nice; the girls in bikinis not the old f at rt's surgeries. 

  Am I mistaken? Is it possible the Navy had another R 390A manual published as late as 1985?

  If there is sufficient interest, I may have some copies printed at one of the copy shops and sell them for my cost plus a few dollars for the running around. 
  If you would like a copy let me know at my DSM Labs email address of www.glenn at dsmlabs.com
  Please, if you resell manuals on ebay or elsewhere don't ask for a copy at this time. I am making this offer to those who enjoy these receivers as much as I do.
  Oh, if you do have a 390(A) manual with the girls in bikinis let me know. 

  73,
  Glenn WA4AOS
