[R-390] The BFO pitch counter dial?

[Grayson Evans]

I should have figured that out.  i was thinking RTTY, but this knob counts from 000 to 999.  Could not imagine it would require that much fine tuning.  Never seen that on another receiver that is set up for RTTY.   Interesting.

I have only found 3 R390A’s so far, but there is a lot of the junk yard I have not seen.   It is about 1km x 1km but only about 10% electrical/electronic.   Found did a place out there with bags and bags of NOS tubes.  Gotta stock up.

I have NO idea how to get these back to the states.  I am returning in a few years so need to figure out something.
I also found a 51S-1 that I brought home.  There are a lot of radios, got to be very selective!
