Interesting question. I'm glad others are beginning to concentrate on
complete systems, rather than individual black boxes.

I don't know, but there could well be some information soon to be
available on the RoyalSignal.org.uk site. Alister has scanned my original
B-24D Radio Manual and it should be available in the next few weeks. As
always, please read and follow the directions on the site for requesting
