I can't afford electricity to waste on old radios.


My R-390(not A)got drowned in seawater last year, during the storm called Sandy . Now I don't know what to do with it...


Wash it out really good with fresh water, then blow it out with your
leaf blower. Let it bake in the sun.

The K3 is a better radio and uses a Watt or two on receive (0.77 Amperes
at 14VDC actually). It satisfies my high performance Jones, without
dominating my life. I really like the way the 51J3 looks.
