[Milsurplus] APS-13 Questions

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

No, there is no control box.  An indicator lamp ID-42/APS-13, bell, ON-OFF 
switch, TEST switch and dimmer rheostat were supplied loose and mounted 
somewhere on the instrument panel.

The antenna (AN-62/APS-13 or AS-151/APS-13) was installed onto both sides of 
the vertical stablizer.  AN-62 is a folded dipole with one each reflector and 
director.  The Operator's manual I have does not show either drawing or 
photograph of AS-151 but the text says the only difference is the length of the tie 
cable between the two halves or sides..

There is no theory of operation in the Op Manual.  The only externally 
accessable control is the receiver RF gain pot.  I've never seen the maintenance 
manual although I do have a schematic of the set.
