[Milsurplus] need info on R-1414 HF receiver

Fri May 7 13:57:02 EDT 2004

Hi John,

I was looking for the info for a local friend, who came home with this
receiver from a hamfest in Atlanta. He's not on this mailing list.

No, the R-1414 doesn't like anything like the R-1449, except for the similar
Nixie frequency display. The shape factor is also different. It's larger and
the width of the front panel is about 3 times the height, olive drab color
with GRC-style knobs.

Thanks,

Meir WF2U

I seem to recall hearing it's related to the Watkins-Johnson/CEI
model 357. A manual for the 357 can be found at:
<http://kahuna.sdsu.edu/~mechtron/PremRxPage/reference.htm#manuals>

My R-1449/WLR6 is also said to be related to the 357. Pictures

The R-1449 is also by Sylvania, but most modules and PC boards
labeled CEI, which was aquired by Watkins-Johnson.
