[Milsurplus] URM-50

[Chris Kepus]

I am trying to figure out what to do with this unit.  Has anyone had the
opportunity to use, modify or part out a URM-50?  This is the Military
IM-84/URM-50 Field Strength Meter made by National Company, Inc. for the US
Navy as part of the AN/URM-50 Radio Frequency Monitor.  This is basically a
tube receiver tunable from 30kcs to 400mc.  It uses a very interesting
rotating turret assembly for band switching. It covers a very wide swath of
frequencies. It has a very husky power supply along with copious amounts of
taxpayer funded hardware, brackets, chassis parts, etc.

There is no bandspread and it has had the anti-fungus treatment. 

 

What say?

 

I receive the Digest so my reply might be somewhat delayed to anyone who
responds to this inquiry. 

 

Thanks,

Chris
