I did one carrier, the Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72). Plankowner of that
fine vessel.
Yes indeed.
I actually worked on an R-390 a few times in the mid-80's. It was a
dinosaur then and we only had one of them. I remember it having a
ridicously complicated tuning mechanism, lots of gears and shafts, and
very difficult to get tuned up well.
I think much of the comm gear of today is digitally tuned with some
mouse clicks on a screen.
Times, they are a-changing. ;-)

The world kf electronics has changed a lot since I got out of the Navy in 1962. I had trouble learning Transistorized circuits, and still do.
In the 70's I read a Popular Electronics artical about logic gates and it made sense to me.
I spent much $$$ at Radio Shack on 74xx I.C's.
