If I am not mistaken, those TN-* tuning units were usable in several different units, including 
that very large Navy receiver made by Scott, which (if I remember correctly) was the RDO.

I have a number of those tuning units for various frequency ranges up to something like 10 
GHz, maybe even 30 GHz.

As I remember it (I am presently in Texas and cannot go check) all my TN-* units were 
labeled, TN-*/APX-*, where the * means some number or number-letter combo.

I also have two RDOs...

Dunno what I am going to do with them, but I have them...
