[R-390] Antenna balun

[Tisha Hayes]

Finding the coax and connectors is pretty easy. It is the same stuff that
was used on IBM ThickNet connections in the bad 'ol mainframe days. Looking
for it as a radio supply will not yield any results or will show folks who
know that it can be used for the R-390/A and they charge an arm and a leg
for it. Surplus IT places will practically beg you to take it away.
