[Milsurplus] RS-6 on the air (manual, radio, cable)

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Brian & Group,

I have the manuals on the RS-6 and RS-6A in my TM collection.  Reprints 
(scanned, cleaned/straightened and printed) are $20 each shipped CONUS.

BTW, I have an RS-6 complete except for the spares kit.  I bought it nearly 
ten years ago and if the next ten years go like the last ten, it ain't ever 
going to get on the air from here.  So if anyone is interested in a complete 
set (I don't want to break it up), contact me direct and we can dicker.  Set 
c/o RT-6, RR-6, RP-6, RA-6 & accessories kit.

Finally, I've been meaning to ask the group for some time about a couple of 
6' cables that I have here.  No ID tag on the cable.  One end is terminated 
in a PL-294 which would fit Generators GN-57, GN-58, GN-58-A and G-43/G.  The 
other end has a blue molded plastic 6-pin female connector with a neoprene 
boot over it.  Because of where the cables were found, I always thought they 
might be for the RS-6 or 6A, but I don't see any mention in the manuals.  I'd 
guess AN/GRC-109 but although one PL-294 is black finish the other is brass.  
The SCR-694-C and early AN/GRC-9 cable connectors were plated I thought and 
this one doesn't appear to have ever been.  ID anyone?
