I had the impression the R-390 was essentially a R-388 with a digital readout. No, they're pretty different. Compare the manuals: http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/collins/r390a/ and http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/collins/r388co/ Steve WD8DAS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wd8das.net/

No. The R-388 is the military version of a 51J-3. The R-388A is the military version of a 51J-4. The R-390 series came much later. - Bob Macklin wrote: s the Collin's R-390 (and R-388) basically a Mil version
