That's why I asked. It has a Navy (?) designation CASST but I've no clue
what tha really is. I have the connectors. They are totally aardvaark and
I've never seen them elsewhere. They are good for 20 KW at 400-500 MHz
though.

Mine are to be soldered, but it's complex.

Thanks very much. Pics of the control and actuators would be interesting
also.
