Daniel,

If you can recall the month and year of that ER article for the UGC-74, would be much appreciated! I was gifted one a couple months back, (no cables)  but haven’t had an opportunity to mess with it. 

Thanks,

Jason WA6BBQ

I have a B version and requires 24v, The 12v feed is only for memory keeping purposes if you are using other then a loop supply. 

There is a very good article written about the UGC-74 in electric radio magazine.
