R-390A with CV-591A/URR



Here we have a R-390A, teamed up with a CV-591A SSB converter. The R-390A bears a AMELCO tag, order number 35064-PC-62. As visible, it is complete with those nasty radio-active meters removed from so many R-390's, apparently because military personnel were ingesting them. Bad chow I guess.

The CV-591 is fun. It delivers "punchy" audio, and even tries to select the correct sideband on its own. LO frequency injection to the product detector can be selected from two xyals, or from a VFO. Of the 3 CV-591's here at KA4RSZ, all seem to have different xyals. Wonder why....
