[Milsurplus] mystery receiver

Sat, 11 May 2002 23:38:25 -0400

I picked up this assembly / module at a recent hamfest.  It is marked VHF 
RECEIVER ASSY, 10412-80555-1 Contract No DAAB07-70-A-0505-SM01.  The FSN is 
5821-00-402-6637. It has a four position thumbwheel switch on the front. 
The first digit is only a 0 or a 1.  The rear has two D series connectors. 
The top one has two coax connectors, a guide pin in place of the third coax 
connector and 10 pins. The bottom connector has three coax connectors with 
a guide pin in place of the fourth coax connector and 5 pins.  The size is 
about a foot long, the width is the same as a credit card short dimension 
and the heigth is 1/2 of a credit card long dimension (I do not have a 
ruler handy). Anyone reconize this receiver? What is its parent equipment? 
The thumbwheels will go from 0000 to 1999, so I guess probably from 30 MHz 
to 199.9 MHz? Probably FM as it has a crystal discriminator in it.  What is 
its actual frequency range?

Any help greatly appreciated.
