Check the vfo ep adjustment and correct if necessary.  It should be within 500 hz, less is better.  Follow the wwv calibration procedure in the tech ref after it's warmed up for at least an hour or when the vfo becomes stable.  Monitor a stable station looking for very little drift with the bfo on.  Use the highest wwv you can receive well.
Regards, Larry

Hello all.  I am getting back in to finishing out my Motorola 390a now that I am at home for a few weeks.  I was curious what the best calibration procedure is to use?  How critical is it to have the line voltage at 115 Volts?
Thanks,Dave
