[R-390] R390a Mhz stop

[Les Locklear]

Just a WAG.....They didn't want the operators listening to the BCB.

Just tore down, cleaned, and lubed gear assembly.  Set Mhz stop to a smidge
past 31 Mhz.  Lower stop is at 2 Mhz instead of 0 Mhz.  Stop assembly only
has 10 leaves in it.  Normally there are 11.  After rebuilding many of these
cool receivers this is the first one that I have seen with this shortened
tuning range.  Before I took the gear assembly to pieces I did not check its
normal tuning range so I don't know if it was set up to  limit the top two
or bottom tuning ranges.  I don't think that depot maint left a leaf out as
there is no room to put another in.  I do have a replacement 10 turn
assembly that I can use.  Just wondering why range is limited.
