[Milsurplus] AN/FRR-51 Wazzit?

[Nick England]

Anyone? Anyone?

What about this theory - I read somewhere that Hoffman Labs developed
a receiver but it never made it into production - could this R-792
nomenclature have been assigned for this system that never got built?

Time frame seems right, CV-116 was a Hoffman design, and Hoffman
supplied FRR-38 diversity systems (2 R-390 + CV-116) - would have been
a logical step for them to make an R-391 competitor?

(Note this FRR-51 is not a relabeled R-391 based system - R-391 had 8
channels, not 10, and also required a 28v supply for the autotune)
cheers,
