[Milsurplus] Seeking information

Fri May 7 13:45:52 EDT 2004

MIL-HDBK 162A and B (United States Radar Equipment) sez the APN-89 was 
designed to be used with the AN/ASB-4 bomb director set, not an ASQ-38.  
Specs at http://members.cox.net/aaf-radio-4/APN-89.JPG.  All the ASQ-** 
sets listed seem to be sonar related sets for antisubmarine warfare, so 
unless they had joined the Navy, heh...
