Not sure of the age or condition of your 390, but you might also just try 
pulling and reseating P120/J620 on the audio chassis.  Among other stuff, this 
connector carries the operating voltage to the Break-in relay, K-602.  (K-601 
is actually the squelch relay).  Both relays just ground the audio out from the 
AF amplifier V-601 through the interstage transformer T-601.

Pins 1 and 2 of P120 carry the control voltage to the relay.  You could measure 
the voltage there also, to make sure it's getting that far along when pin 9 of 
the rear connector strip is grounded.
