[Boatanchors] What is a WRR-10

[Nick England]

Tom was just kidding me because he knows I have a 3000 lb Navy
receiver in the basement...

AN/WRR-10 sounds unlikely as the WRR series are communications
receivers, not countermeasures receiving systems.
The AN/WLR-1 countermeasures receiving system covers 50MHz to 10.75
GHz so that matches the original poster's specs. For your reading
pleasure, I have scanned a technical description of the AN/WLR-1 - The
5 MB download is at
http://www.navy-radio.com/manuals/10787/10787-01.pdf

There is an AN/WLR-10 radar threat receiver, but I don't know the freq
coverage for that. WLR-10 evidently works with WLR-8, a 500 MHz-18 GHz
radar receiving system. But in spite of the WRR-10/WLR-10 name
similarity, the WLR-10 sounds too modern to be in an ER advert.

cheers,
