[R-390] R391

[Richard Wojnar]

I am new here with my first post. In the 60's I was a morse code inteceptor in the Army Security Agency stationed in Asmara Ethiopia and Vint Hill Farms. I used a R390 exclusively. About twenty years ago I bought a R390 from a HAM in Maryland and it sat covered up for years. Well, now I am retiring at the end of the year and decided to get back to getting my license and getting my radio restored. I got it cleaned up and now find that it is a R391. The auto tune version of the R390/A. I took it to Howard Mills for restoration and was emailed  a day ago stating that it is finished waiting for pickup. Does anyone know who used the R391? Was it the Naval Security Group, Army Security Agency, etc? I find that there were only about 1450 produced but there is very limited info on the web. Anyone use one?
Thanks,
Rich
