Default R-390A question

Hi Scott,

It's a Capehart R-390A. I'm not sure who made the PTO....I don't have
anyone to help me lift it out of the case so I can look at it this
evening.

I hope to have a friend help me extract it from the cabinet in the
next few days...I'll try to figure out which PTO it is.

Thanks!

So...my question for those of you that have R-390As or know them well,
when I tune "through" a CW signal, should I hear a nice DC note all
the way through or should it warble and show some distortion.


Depends on your PTO. *Who made your R-390A? *Some model PTOs are better
than others, and some will wobble while being tuned.
