[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 102, Issue 7

Rather, it would be a downconverter, from the receiver's 500kHz output to the SE-3's 455 input.

It's intriguing that he would choose that approach.  I imagine he tried bending the VCO; I wonder what went wrong?
Or maybe just prefers an extra board to hacking the main one.
