I have both the A version and the non A version R390. From my tests the R390 performs better on not overloading in the broadcast band with strong signals like the R390A which you can correct. The A version has a different mixing scenario and has one less RF front end tube in it. Being a cost reduction version. The R90A filters are great being a improvement over the non A. I have a SDR interface taped off before the IF filter stage for a wide 50Kc spectrum display or off the IF output up to 16kc wide. This brings the R390/A up to great performance with SDR software.
