[Boatanchors] Mystery National Receiver, NC-127D

[Peter Markavage]

Moore's book on receivers claims it's a special version of the NC-127.
Used in experimental triple diversity system. Only one system (3
receivers) made. Had a two position diversity control and a diversity IF
gain control.
Probably National didn't make a manual for it for distribution. If you
find the other two, you'll definitely have one of a kind.
