The CV-483 is part of the AN/URA-17

Description:
The AN/URA-17 consists of a pair of CV-483 FSK converters.  
A single CV-483 and one receiver can be used to receive RTTY
signals or two receivers and two CV-483 converters can be used
for diversity reception.  No seperate diversity combiner is
needed when two CV-483 converters are used for diversity, they
have A and B outputs and A and B inputs to allow cross
connection.

All solid state construction with discrete transistors and
printed wiring boards.

Navy receivers that may be used with the CV-483 included the
RBA, RBB, RBC, SRR-11, SRR-12, SRR-13, WRR-2, WRR-3 or
equivalent.  A teletype machine with a 60 ma current loop is
needed to display single channel messages.  

Capability:
Narrow Shift 10 to 200 CPS with BFO 1 kc
Wide Shift 200 to 1,000 CPS with BFO 2 kc

Manual:
Navships 0967-340-0010 Technical Manual for
Comparator-Converter Group AN/URA-17C, Department of the Nave,
