I have had this particular multicoupler for a few years now, but have never 
been able to find a manual or documentation on it. The nomenclature tag on 
the front panel reads as follows:

                          SERIAL NO. A4
                           29355 - 0135929
                    MF/HF MULTICOUPLER
                           CU - 2279/BRC
   DES. ACT.: NAVALEX CTR, Charleston, SC
        CONTRACT N00612 - 84 - D - 0105

It has two channels, each fed with an antenna, N connector and five bnc 
outputs, four for a receiver, one marked test for each channel which are 
marked Channel A and Channel B. 120 vac, covers 100 khz to 100 mhz. 
According to the analyzer that was used, it provides about 6 db gain. I am 
using an attenuator that negates that gain and makes it unity gain. Very 
quiet, runs barely lukewarm to the touch. 3.5" H X 19" W X 10.5" D (not 
counting connectors or rack handles). I have pics available. I know of one 
other in existence, and have found no other documentation on it. One reply a 
couple of years ago, mentioned they believed that the BRC designation was 
for submarines...........???

Thanks for any help or information that may be forthcoming.
