[R-390] Specific Products WWVC Receiver

[r.tetrault at comcast.net]

No specific info on that one, but they all had the same purpose: dial up WWV  
and then inject your favorite local reference into the comparator. Tweak  
until it beeps, I guess. Fluke made one and I lusted after them on eBay for  
quite a while. Then I got a Spectracom phase comparator, then I got a  
Symmetricom GPSDO w Rubidium fallover.

Then I got too busy. 

Connected by DROID on Verizon Wireless

Hello, list...Long time, no talk to. Not too long ago, I happened on a Rare  
Byrd...A Specific Products WWV Compator/Receiver. All it does is pick up WWV  
on several different freqs,  but it has an Oscilloscope, & a panel-mounted  
speaker. I did get a manual for it, but the  manual is for a slightly  
later-July, 1962-model. Anybody else out there have one of these l'il  
beasties ? Anybody know anything about them ? Its pretty much useless now,  
but back in '62, there was no internet, & if you NEEDED precise time, I  
guess you got one of thease things. It DOES rate a 9.5 on the Kewlness  
meter-I mean, c'mon-It BEEPS, it is full of Tubes, looks like hi-grade  
construction, & best of all, it has a Scope...I would appreciate any/all  
info that you guys can offer-I MIGHT do an article in "Electric Radio" on  
it. Cheers, Sandy Geiger, Rogersville, TN
