Subject: Collins "Lower Deck Asy": from R-392???
Glowbuggers and Anchorites,
I have a module I suspect is from the R-392. Is it?
"Lower Deck Asy"
Part No. 506-2206-004
BFO can is Collins PTO type 70J2, Symbol T-602
Main connector is J-613
BNC connector is J-611
V-604 and 609 are 26A6's
V-608 is a 26A7
Size is 5-1/4" by 6-1/4"
If this is from the R-392, I SUPPOSE that I should begin looking for the
rest of the radio. (To keep the R-390 and the R-390A's company!)
Keep em Glowing!

Well, I got on with the Valiant the evening before last and had a
coupe of VERY solid QSOs even through the muck and mire and QRN on
80m!
I called CQ for about 15 minutes and then got WA3VJB over in
Annapolis.
He was running an FT-101 with external audio into the LINE input
for the phone patch audio. This was driving a pair of special 4-400
type tubes in a linear amp at about 200 W, and boy did he sound good!
59 + 20 dog biscuits in both directions, and a very friendly chat
ensued. This was on 3880 kHz. I later worked a couple of other guys
up in 2-land.
Come on all your boat anchorists and Glowbuggists - get those
fire-bottles a cooking!
Bry, AF4K
