[R-390] R-390A longevity

[Larry H]

Good find Nick.  Thanks for letting us know.
If they were to install them, where would they get them?  Do they still have a stash of them, or would  they make a bunch of new ones?  How much would they cost today?
Regards, Larry

I was searching for another spec and came across this Newport News
Shipbuilding doc - "Latest Effective Issue of Specifications Currently in
Use at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Report Effective Date: November 2017"

and there on page 370 it says
"RE-F2686233  R-390A/URR  GOVERNMENT SPEC"
which is the interconnecting wiring diagram for installing an R-390A - so
there you have it - the shipyard is still prepared to install our favorite
receiver....
