[Boatanchors] RME 69

[WA9VRH Larry]

Hello Jack,

I am not necessarily an RME historian but maybe I can help.  I have an
RME-69 that has a built in noise blanker.
Somewhere I have at least a schematic on it I believe.  Mine is also gray.
However mine has no markings on the front panel
as Eric Shauckhauser (who along with Russ Plack stared RME) said that if
someone needed markings on a panel to operate a
receiver they were not worthy of having the receiver.  ( or something close
to that)  Actually RME was in Peoria Il. not Joliet. I was privileged to
know both Eric and Russ for a number of years.  However I was a pretty new
ham and not that interested in boatanchor
stuff at the time.  I of course could kick myself now.

More on them later I am in a time crunch tonight. I will see if I can dig up
the schematic if you are interested.
