[Boatanchors] What is a WRR-10

[George Morton]

Gents -  I thot I had responded to this one already,  but here goes again. 
Recco all read "Blind Man's Bluff" to
put into perspective what it was used for.  Think correct nomenclature 
should be "an/wlr-1".  It was a spectrum
vacuum cleaner to detect and identify type of emmitter one was listening to. 
It would be about useless ashore, and trying to get ahold of the matching 
antenna package highly unlikely.   was on the USS SKIPJACK SSN585  and 
others.  Brgds to all, Geo
at the behest of the NSA (aka the no such agency)
