All I want for Christmas is an R-390
 

This gives someone plenty of time to find one.. :) Course, it will have to
be shipped in pieces because of the weight limits.

:)

Take care, all, and stay well.

They can be shipped by truck. Nothing else like having a semi-truck pull up in
front of the house and knowing your new receiver has arrived !

I want one too! Does it weigh more than an SX-28?

So what do they cost?

If one can be found, most likely as much as, and maybe more, than your 650
is worth. BTW.. I'm gaining ground on that. Everything but the mode switch
and speaker switch seems to be working pretty well. I'll keep my fingers
crossed that they will stay that way. I see from a couple little spots that
this poor thing has had some rough handling sometime during it's lifetime.

Hope all is well..

Fair Radio Sales sells them by the armloads, and gets them shipped somehow.

Yep, they can freight them, or pay the extra to have UPS or FedEx take them
as over weight. I don't have those options, ergo would have to have it
shipped in pieces (thankfully, they do come apart into recognizable
modules).

Actually, The trick is to remove the power supply module and ship them
seperately.
There is even someone who sells crates especially for the R390/R390A.
I am fortunate in that I have both models and love them. They do kinda spoil
you for other radios tho. ;-}} Try the R390 List on qth.net. You will find
everything you need to know and then some.

Are we talking specifically about the R-390 here, or is this a shorthand
way of talking about the R-390A? The former, I've read, is better-built,
but lacks the mechanical filters of the R-390A. Is that distinction
correct, and which is the better radio?

You got a boat, Brenda Ann? R-390 will anchor it even in strong
winds!....(c;

POWER is our friend!

Unless you are a truly hard-core DXer with tube electronics
maintenance skills and equipment, you are asking for trouble.

The things are difficult to tune, require annual tweaks, use parts no
longer made, burn copious amounts of electricity and will ruin any
piece of furniture you put them on top of.
