[Milsurplus] W20 Cable for FLR/9 Servicer Pos. What is it??

Fri, 6 Sep 2002 11:41:50 +0400

Hi All,

I am still looking for the schematic for the PP-3931A FLR-9(V).  LOGSA has
some information, but not Vol-4 which has the schematic that I need.  Anyone
out there have any ideas?

Thanks,  John  WD5ENU/A45XV
