[R-390] Call For Information

[Les Locklear]

R-390/URR is the official designation, I just didn't make that up.

But if the uneducated, unwashed masses prefer to call it the Non A, let 'em have at it. I'll continue to point out the error of their ways. Yeah, I'm grumpy, 68, retired and enjoying life.

I guess tonight I'll fire up my Hammarlund SP-600J (Non X), and chuckle about the dumbing down of America.

  I have three different versions of the original manuals for the R390 if that's any help.
