[R-390] A vs non A

[Raymond Cote]

Right SINS tech--like I was. Another world. You are right about working only on NAV. equipment. A friend had a A model when he lived in Agat south of the base and that was when we tried to stagger time the 390-a with staggering it. If I remember am signals were a little better but that was 42 years ago. 
     When my bench is back up and ready I will try again just for drill and test the BW before and after. I forget why we were doing it in C school at Great Lakes. 

Thanks for the response.

Have a problem with a receiver not done "by the book"?? - heaven help the poor SOB that's involved with that!

Sherry and I had a lot of comm gear over the years as a hobby - but I didn't "officially" touch a Navy 390/A until I was helping my charges study for advancement at Naval Weapons Station, York Town, VA.

In our opinion - no where near enough "results" to be worth the effort...   And considering the IF in an "A" - figured the results would be even less impressive...    so never tried.
