The poor mans solution is to feed the R390A 455KHz into a Hammarlund HQ-180X series receiver.  Yes, it would take up a lot of space even with the receivers on an offset angle.  Then again the HC-10 isn't really small.
Now if one was a real heretic and had lots of tools and skill, one could gut the HQ-180 and have a HC-10 DIY project.  But having a HQ-180C and having looked inside of it, the internal layout is such that doing that has a 99 44/100 percent chance of failure.
