[GreenKeys] Shipboard Teletype

[Peter Gottlieb]

Try looking up the Harris RF-590A, that is the commercial number for 
that unit.  I have a printed catalog if anyone needs specifics.  The 
main differences are firmware (remote protocol support), what are 
considered the "standard" options, and IF filter set.

"The R-2368B is designated by CNO as the Navy standard LF/MF/HF receiver 
for ship and shore use."  At least that's what the Harris 1995 catalog says.

Mike Murphy runs about 50% higher than market price for things like 
this.  What you get is competent packing, inexpensive shipping, and the 
ability to return a unit which either does not work or that you are 
unhappy with.  These receivers pop up on Ebay from time to time.  I have 
seen working ones in good condition fetch from $800 to $2000, depending 
on who is looking for them at the time of the auction.

If you end up with one, Google around on the web for my preselector 
modifications which allow front panel controlled bypass to give you 
improved weak signal operation.
