[R-390] Green gear

I'm about to remove my RF deck. I've read on r-390.com about the green gear.

Well first off don't panic the RF deck is still in place.

I removed the gear and turned it over to see the green side. From the
description I read it appears the gear is flipped over and re-installed
back in its post aligned properly on its shaft engaging the gear behind the
the large brass gear front lower center. I did this and the gears can still
move and that shaft moves.

I assume all this does is keep the gears in sync so them moving is OK as
long as they move together. For some reason I thought this gear would
locked the whole gear train in place.

Like I said the RF deck is still sitting in the chassis, I wanted to be
clear I have the gear installed correctly before I move anything.

Thank you
