[Milsurplus] [MRCA] DAV box

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I definitely agree with that!  Even though I had seen the broken edge of 
it, I wasn't fully convinced that the entire case was molded plywood until I 
acquired a copy of the manual some years later.

Incidentally, I have what might possibly be the schematic of the DAV-1.  
And maybe the manual, but I don't have a DAV-1 with which to compare them.  
The copy of the manual I got also had a four page Errata that made some 
changes to the loop circuit.  And it occurred to me that the manual originally 
shipped might have been just a copy of the DAV-1 manual with "1" changed to "2" 
where appropriate.  That sort of thing wasn't uncommon.
