NAVSHIPS 0967-063-2010 Manual Reprints Available
 

Hi Gang:

In 1996 I produced some half-decent copies of the 1970 Navy NAVSHIPS
manual for the R-390A.

The originals are pretty well much unobtanium. It is my understanding
that the NAVY required the old issues to be turned in and they are
destroyed. I got my hands on an original and made the copies from it.

I recently found two of the copies I made back in 1996 and since I now
have an original I am offering them up to members of this august
group. The cost will be $35.00 plus postage. If I get a number of
orders I will consider doing another print run. This is very
time-consuming as you can imagine but am willing to do it because the
NAVY manual is BY FAR the best technical reference available for the
R-390A. It is NOT a rehash of the Army/Air Force manual set.

If interested please reply by e-mail.

73,

Michael, W1RC

An original is a nice thing to have, but a copy always loses something
in the translation. For those that need a truly better than original
manual, look into:

"The 21st Century R-390A/URR Technical Reference"

It is based on the May 1985 Navy manual, and has many enhancements.

It is a completely new creation, not a copy, or a scan. It is
available in pdf format, and has many new color pictures. It is
truly a work of art.

And it can be found free by simply googling the above title.

The manual you reference prints out extremely well. The only exception
would be the schematics. They've been reduced (sectionally) to fit
(nicely) on to single pages. But, nothing like the real McCoy when they
can be found. If the listed reprints have regular, fold out schematics,
that would be a good deal, too.

Which returns nothing. How about just providing the URL?

(Who would love to get his R390 working again if for only sentimental
reasons -- I spent many years using them for real communication in an
AN/GRC-26D van on the back of a 2 1/2 ton truck both in the US and in
Germany!!)

How silly of them, they didn't include the title of the manual
in their website!

This google search works:

R-390A New Y2K Manual
