[GreenKeys] R-808 ///// AN/GRC-14

Paul,

To add to what Scott wrote, AN/GRC-14 was fielded as part of AN/MRC-55.  To 
the best of my knowledge, the only manuals ever done, NAVSHIPS 92911 V1 & V2, 
cover the latter set.  A couple of years ago, I spent several days extracting 
all of the R-808 pertinent information from the 2" thick AN/MRC-55 one and have 
a reprint available, NAVSHIPS 92911(A)-R808.  $30.60 plus shipping.

The power supply and transmitter are extremely scarce, mostly because of the 
weight I'm sure.  I've had only one set through here (it now belongs to a 
collector on the East Coast).  However, the power supply is not necessary in order 
to operate the R-808.  It will operate from either 28 VDC or 115 VAC, 
supplied through the 9-pin front panel connector, which is the same as the one on the 
R-390/URR.  Fortunately, both styles of the right angle cable connector can 
be used (dogbone and cathedral).
