[Boatanchors] [Milsurplus] Russian R-326 (P-326) followed me home

John,

Congratulations - the R-326 is somewhat rare in the US, but is fairly  
commonly found (or at least until a few years ago) in Europe.

I have one of them, brought it back from a trip to Hungary (swapped  
some US surplus for Soviet surplus with a collector there) about 10  
years ago.
I'll dig out whatever paperwork I have on it, I can give you the  
sketch of the controls and the translation of what their labels mean  
(I learned enough Russian to be able to read and understand commonly  
used radio nomenclature)
as I have a small collection of Russian radios I operate from time to time.
I don't recall if I have the full manual on the R-326, if I do, it may  
be in Russian or Hungarian.
It's not a bad little receiver, it had a field use for monitoring as a  
stand-alone, or part of the system on various communication trucks and  
command vehicles, where it was used for monitoring a different  
frequency or spotting a net frequency before retuning the more  
elaborate main receiver.
Is your model the plain R-326 or the later R-326M with a digital  
frequency readout?

As to the transceiver you got: the letters translate to the English  
alphabet as:

EFR-M and I'm not familiar with it at all.
