[Milsurplus] DW-2 & du-1

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I'm not sure of the answer to Jay's question, although it could be.  One unit 
of the DAG was modified for use in airships and has the loop below the 
controller on a long extension.  I don't have anything on DW-2 specifically but do 
have (somewhere) the loop controller and mounting base marked DW-1.  Based on 
the partial manual that I have on the DU-2, these two components are the same 
in both sets except for contractor, as they have the same Navy Type Number.  
Only the contractor code and model info differ.  So if you pulled the 
nameplates, you couldn't ID them as to set nomenclature.

My database says that the DU (no suffix) had a standalone receiver, 
CDT-46243, supplied, but I don't know the source of that info.  The DU-2 used the RU as 
both power source and receiver.
