[Milsurplus] ASB Stuff

[David Edsall]

Hi Mike and the group,

I have an ASB receiver labeled: "CPR-46ACJ for ASB series - NXsa 43396 - s/n
4772."  That is the only information on the ID tag.
Where does that fit into the series?  This one's mfd by Philco Radio. Who
else made these units?
73,
David Edsall, W1TDD
