[R-390] Panel meters again

[Barry]

BTW, they don't show a view of the back of that meter, but that metal flange sticking out from behind the face of the meter is just a removable adapter plate of some sort.  The screws in the front of the meter are screwed to that plate.  You remove that plate to bolt the meter to an R390A.

Regards,
Barry - N4BUQ
