The R-390A is without a doubt the best SWL receiver I've ever had for pulling in difficult signals. It costs a fortune to operate one, however. Why the high cost, sorry maybe a dumb question, breaking down or electricity? I used these back in the day in the navy and someday I am going to find one that has been rebuilt get it my computer/electronics/guitar/graphic design/in the doghouse/radio shack room! I actually found a place about a year ago that made those babies shine, in and out completly rebuilt, covers, don't recall about the manuals but they were located in England, here is TX which was a ton to just ship! |

Electricity, mainly. They aren't that difficult to maintain if you're thermionic electronically inclined. |
