   I was in the service and used the R-390s. They were a great receiver.  Even   
   though they were an AM receiver, if you turned the BFO on and then set the   
   offset + or - about 1 KC you could listen to SSB with them. I spent many   
   Late Watches just DXing the bands with the big receiving antennas in Puerto   
   Rico on a spare receiver while waiting for traffic to come in.   
      
   Lots of fun times.
