[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 96, Issue 5

[Bill Beech (NJ7P)]

I was assigned to the USASA Field Station in Korea in 1977.  R-390A 
receivers were the only receivers in general use.  They were replaced by 
a WJ design which had NO tuning knob.  Those were removed and replaced 
by WJ receivers which had a tuning knob.  The 05H's (Hogs) did not like 
a receiver with out a tuning knob.  When I returned in 1980, the second 
WJ receiver was the general use receiver.  It was still a digital 
receiver but could be tuned by a knob, as well.

> Well on one on my submarines, I was greeted with the R390-A receivers being offloaded by a new Communications officer and new state-of-the-art R-1051 digital tuned receivers being installed.  They lasted only one patrol and the 390s were brought back on board at the insistence of the Senior LPO (Leading Petty Officer) of the radio room.
> I don't know what happened after that, but the 1051s were around at other sites for quite a while.  I was subsequently assigned to R-390A instructor duty and all I saw were the 390A receivers at electronics school,, although the R1051 was being taught in parallel. Happily I was not involved with the 1051.  Perhaps if I was, the one I have would be working.  HA!
