[R-390] NON A service docs

[Lester Veenstra]

We used to say we could never have females in CTM rating as they could never
lift a R-390 up into an FLR-7, but dang, if they found some that could,
while it took two of us to lift one over out head.

Les, relax, please!  Find something else to complain about.

Non-A is used to point out that the object it is not an R-390A/URR. B eing
the production run for the A, much larger than the Non-A, when talking about
these two brothers, many find easy to make sure than the listener surely
understands that isn't an A on a Not-A.

A or Not-A, they are still brothers.   Some people could have said I have a
heavy 390, and people with experience with 390s would have immediately
undertood that they were

I was going to keep my mouth shut, but the "Non A" always got under my skin,
and  at my age it gets thinner.


I'd like to plant my size eleven squarely in the keister of whoever started
using it. It's just another example of the dumbing down of America and a
ride I won't be going on.


I suppose a Hammarlund SP-600 Non J, JX, JLX or VLF will be next...

Les,

I did as you suggested and Googled "R390/URR Non-A", and got 1,440 hits. So,
maybe the government didn't buy any "R390/URR Non-A" receivers, but 1,440
sites believe that they exist ;^)  Quite simply, this is how language
evolves.


Or, as in this case Bill - devolves. Describing something as what it isn't
instead of what it is, or framing it with a later sub-model as the
progenitor. Akin to saying something like "I've got a '69 Chevelle non-SS".

Fortunately there's hope: Googling R-390/URR returned over 57,000 hits and
R-390 receiver, over 650,000. The new-age ebonics approach remains but a
small sliver of the overall discussion out there. Seems to primarily be an
internet thing.

Hang in there, Les!
