[R-390] Shipping R-390's overseas

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Yup, done it. A *lot* depends on where it is going. 

Like anything I’m shipping, the radio first went into a heavy
duty garbage bag. The concern there is simply keeping it dry.

After that was to encase the radio in foam blocks (high 
density insulation foam). Next I surrounded that with 1/4” 
plywood. No nails or anything fancy, just a wrap process. 
Next that whole thing went into a tight fitting cardboard box. 

The whole principle was to keep it very tight in the box and to 
keep the box as normal looking as possible. 

As far as I know, none of the radios suffered unduly shipping off 
to here and there. Other than the large cardboard box, all the 
materials came from the local Home Depot.
