[Milsurplus] Nems-Clarke Receiver

[J Forster]

The receiver is best characterized as a surveillance IMO.

Back in the late '60s, I was working at the Boeing  Kent Aerospace Center and they had a telemetry van with one of those and several R-1037s. There was
one 1037 with the appropriate tuning head (with crystal) and demod for each transmitter on the spacecraft as well as decommutators and instrumentation and
chart recorders (oscillographs). This was in the days of PAM/FM/FM telemetry. There was one Tx for boost phase, one Tx and Rx for orbital phase, and each
free flying payload had its own Tx.

The subject receiver was used basically as a surveillance receiver looking for interference and such.  Much of the time it was used to listen to a local
FM station in the van though.
