[R-390] Green gear

[KA9EGW]

Other than allowing storage inside the radio, what purpose does the
convex/concave aspect serve?  As I understand it this gear transmits no
power; it merely serves to lock two others relative to each other.  Or am I
completely off base?

The gear is saucer shaped (and has a "D" shaped hole, I think - not sure on
that part).

Not a standard part.
