Last year I picked up an RU-? in fair condition. I believe it to be an
RU-11 (it has a
'Liaison' connector; has 'CBY' on the A/L switch; and the AGC dropper
resistor
value is of the later type).
Got it working today (except disabled the AGC because I don't (yet) have a
floating
HT supply). Working very nicely on 40m although not very sensitive compared
to
an ARC-5 superhet, for example. Doing well for a TRF.
Stumbled across a nice AM QSO on 7293 which made for an excellent listening
experience. Nice audio, no heterodynes (apart from rude SSB ops).
Many thanks to Robert Downs for helping ID the receiver and all his
invaluable
assistance.
