[Milsurplus] HF radio info needed

[Robert C. Rice]

The RF-3090 that I know about is an early version of the AN/PRC-117.  
This is not HF, but rather a tactical VHF 30-89.975 mhz FM radio.  Some 
of these are equipped with a frequency hopping card. 

I can't lay hands on my manual, but my recollection is that the 
connector on the bottom of the radio is not explained. My guess has 
always been that it is for programming frequency hopping parameters with 
a special fill device or computer program.  I also  believe the manual 
hints at an add-on encryption device, which could have bolted on to the 
bottom and connected via this connector.

The radio is Harris.

Neat radio.
