Bob, You've got to practice with the 2-KC mechanical filter of your R-390A. In the case of splitting BSKSA-1521 off from 1520, you dial your R-390A upwards until 1520 "falls off the edge" of the 2-KC mechanical filter slope. The het is gone and you got BSKSA-1521 as good as it's going to get on the R-390A. Of course you still have WWKB's sidebands to live with, but that's going to be true with any receiver. 73 de Charles min Grifton, an-Nort Karolina, ar-Rednekiya (L'il AA there fer you other Rednecks!)
