[R-390] John's R 390A article MORE??

[Ron Kolarik]

I don't know about the submarines, only time I ever saw one it was
either a Russian we caught on the surface or one of ours we were doing
a transfer to, mail or personnel. Naval aircraft I worked on did not carry
the R390, all channelized comm gear including the HF and no separate
rx/tx. There may have been some carried on more specialized, read "spook",
aircraft but that was above my clearance. I never did see an R390 checked
in to the avionics repair depot either. The time frame was mid '60s. Tons of
R390's in the carrier comm room though, wasn't allowed to play in there :(

 Does anyone know if any of these receivers made into submarines? I suspect due to the 
weight, not many or any made it into aircraft applications other than the somewhat 
rare R648.
