My apologies to one and all on the list, and particularly to John. It appears I led him down the wrong path due to my chronic 390A/non-A confusion factor disease. I've spent so much time fooling with 390A's that when I read or hear the numbers "390", my mind involuntarily tacks on the "A" without me even noticing it. That's gotten me in trouble more than once.
Non-A's are great receivers, but I must admit I have never owned one. Sorry, John. 73, Jerry W5KP John King wrote: > Thanks for the source of information, Jerry.
