[R-390] Z503 replacemnt

[rbethman]

Perry & Et, Al,

I would suggest TWO *likely sources of honest to goodness replacement parts:

1) Andy has a BIG stack of R-390/URR and R-390a/URR radios and parts

James A. (Andy) Moorer
<www.jamminpower.com>

2)Matthew Parkinson [A former depot maintenance type.]

I've personally bought from Matt. I'd buy from Andy *IF* I'm looking for 
another radio or part!
