There are some great radios in the photos of the sale. If not expensive, that R390A would have come home with me. The R390 and R390A are ex military beasts and not much can come close to them. I've used one for years but it is losing sensitivity and needs to be serviced. When a R390 is working as it should, the only thing I've found that can hear a signal better are the solid state military/comercial Drake and Watkin Johnson receivers.
