[Boatanchors] R-392 Manuals.. was: A couple of questions

[WF2U]

THERE IS NO CONFUSION HERE! The site mentioned is indeed the Wireless Set
No. 19 group site, but the archives  contain a vast treasure trove of US
military manuals, including the AN/GRC-19 and its components, the T-195 and
the R-392.
There are also large collection of Russian and British/Canadian military
radio manuals as well, of course including those of the Wireless Set 19.
So check the site before you nix it...
