\par No, I did not. Do you have a copy?

\par +++++++++++++++++++++
\par Nope, but what it amounts to is this:
\par
\par Remove the Kc change knob and LOOSEN the nut behind it. Rotate the
\par shaft by hand and let the bushing center itself then snug the nut back
\par up. It should be able to move slightly if it has to.
\par
\par One reason for this is that, if you notice, the Kc change knob is
\par centered between the handles, they also protect all of the knobs from
\par physical damage. But since the Kc knob is so far away from the
\par handles it is an easy target. One more thing to do while you're there
\par is to check the "run out" on that shaft to see if, or how badly, its
\par bent. Mine shows some bend, the knob doesn't run true, so it can take
\par some without being a problem.
\par
\par The shaft is mounted in three bushings which makes it tough to keep
\par all of them in perfect alignment, letting the front one "float" helps
\par smooth out the action.
\par
\par Check the archives for Al Tirevold's treatise on transmission
\par lubrication, it has a bunch of details to consider.

R-392 Connectors
The R-392 receiver has three multi-pin connectors on the front panel. Two
are for audio and the third is for power and connection to the companion
T-195 transmitter.
The following charts describe the signals on each connector pin.
J101 and J102 (AUDIO)
The two AUDIO connectors are wired identically--the corresponding pins on
each are wired in parallel to allow either or both to be used with
loudspeaker, headset, and/or microphone.
PinSignal Description
This is the 600 ohm output from the
A AF output receiver and is the same as pin L and
J103 pin H.
B Ground
This signal is not used by the receiver
C Microphone but is passed to the transmitter via J103
pin C.
D No connection
E Ground
This signal is not used by the receiver
F Push to talk switch on but is passed to the transmitter via J103
microphone or Key
pin F.
H Ground
J No connection
This signal is also available at J103 pin
K Carrier relay control K and is grounded by the receiver when
the audio output is not squelched.
This is the 600 ohm output from the
L AF output receiver and is the same as pin A and
J103 pin H.
J103 (POWER INPUT - TRANS CONT)
The J103 connector is used to provide power to the R-392 receiver and to
provide control of the optional companion T-195 transmitter.
PinSignal Description
A 28 V B+ (Positive voltage) This powers the tube plates. The current
requirement is 0.5 A.
This signal is provided by the transmitter
to engage relays in the receiver to
disable the audio output and antenna input
B Break-in relay control when transmitting. This signal is ignored
when the receiver Function switch is in
the NET position to allow simultaneous use
of the transmitter and receiver.
C Microphone Provided to the transmitter from pin C on
the AUDIO connectors.
D 28 V Filament (Positive This supplies the tube filaments and draws
voltage) approximately 2.5 A.
E Ground
F Push to talk switch on Passed to the transmitter from pin F on
microphone or Key the AUDIO connectors.
This is the 600 ohm audio output from the
H AF output receiver and is common with pins A and L
on the AUDIO connectors.
J No connection
This signal is also available at pin K on
K Carrier relay control the AUDIO connector and is grounded by the
receiver when the audio output is not
squelched.
Standalone operation
When operating the R-392 receiver not connected to a T-195 transmitter
supply power the receiver as follows.
+28 V at 3 AJ103 pins A and D
Ground J103 pin E

R-390] AF matching transformers
By Steve Murphy@flyingbeers.org
Just an FYI, I was in a local electronics store last week and noticed that they had some line
matching transformers designed for PA use which could be tapped to match a variety of
impedances to 8 or 4 ohms. The
closest tap to 600 ohms was 500, so it wasn't a perfect match, but close enough. So, there
are readily available over-the-counter transformers
available that'll work with the '390 and other 600 ohm output rigs.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING CHART
Reference: Para 97, R-392 Manual (paraphrased for brevity)
Organization: Symptom
Probable Trouble
Corrective Action
============================================================================
1. Function to NORMAL, Dial Dim to ON, Receiver does not operate,
dial lamp does not light.
Open LINE fuse 5 AMP, F102 on front panel
Replace fuse. If it blows again, check filament circuit
for shorts. Check power connections.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Dial lamps light but CARRIER LEVEL meter pointer does not
deflect w/ AGC switch set to ON, no reception.
No B+ voltage. Open PLATE fuse, 1/2 AMP, F101 on front panel.
Replace fuse. If it blows again, test B+ circuit for shorts (fig. 51)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. No receiver output. Carrier level meter rises and dips as
KILOCYCLES control in operated.
Defect in signal circuit after 2nd IF AMP.
Connect headphones with 0.1 microfarad cap across grid and plate
circuits of successive audio stages, or use stage gain charts (par. 99)
Test tube of defective stage, check voltages and then resistance within stage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. AF circuits ok, but no signal output with 455 KC sig gen is applied to IF input
(J510)
Faulty IF amplifier stage.
Test IF stages by signal substitution (par. 101); test tubes; localize with
voltage and resistance checks if necessary.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. IF circuits respond to 455 KC signal, still no station received.
Faulty mixer, oscillator, or RF stage.
Test mixer, RF and oscillator states by signal substitution (par. 102)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. No beat frequency when BFO switch is on and BFO PITCH is varied.
Faulty BFO circuit.
Test tube V604; test voltages, check BFO switch and BFO pitch control(C101) .
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. No calibration signal when AGC switch set to CAL. Cal signal does not appear
approx every 100 KC.
Defective calibration oscillator or vfo-mixer stage.
Test tubes V701, V702, V703. Test crystal Y701. Check voltages and resistances
of cal oscillator and VFO (V801).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Weak Signal
Weak tubes, low voltage
Test tubes; test input voltage; check B+ voltage. Check for shorted or open
capacitors, check gain of each stage. Last resort: align tuning circuits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Noisy receiver.
Noisy antenna location. Poor connection or shorting elements within a tube.
Short-circuit antenna to ground, if noise reduced was external.
Check antenna and internal signal cables and connectors.
Use insulated prod to tap each tube, replace ones which generate noise with tap.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Receiver output noisy when controls are operated.
Dirty switch contacts, potentiometers, etc.
Clean switch contacts; clean or replace controls.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. Distorted signal, or blocking with strong signals.
Weak tube; incorrect voltage on tube; leaky capacitors, esp C623 and
C626. No AGC voltage.
Chekc all tubes. Check AGC voltages. Check plate voltages and resistances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Function switch to SQ (squelch), RF GAIN/SQUELCH THRESH at low gain setting,
noise is heard between stations/signals when KILOCYCLES control is tuned.
Faulty squelch circuit.
Check V602, V609, V 605. If a click is heard as KILOCYCLES is rotated,
check relay K601.
