Dunno.

GN is the Western Electric competitor to the GP series, as far as I can
tell (which gets weird, as Western Electric made GPs as well). It is
roughly the same size and power output, but is more along the lines of the
GO, with two transmitters side by side, with a power unit in between.

As far as I can tell, it sucked. It is enirely too compact - probably a
maintenance horror. The controls are also very sloppy - something I would
not have expected from WE. Tubes line up in the back, much like the ATD.
The lineup is a bit odd - six CW-38413s and two CRP-38266s (WE 312A and
Raytheon RK-21)

I have a severly hacked one, and I would really to find a manual for the
thing, or any of the other bits and pieces.

I know nothing about the RAM, other than it was the mate to the GN, as you
know.
