[Milsurplus] radar help

PAMPANITO has an AN/SPA-1 and AN/APR rcm suite.  
http://www.maritime.org/radio-rcm.htm

TEXAS had one set of AN/SPA and AN/APR gear in Radar III and another set of  
AN/APR gear in Radar IV. The gear in Radar III was used in conjunction with  
a TDY transmitter to jam the radio guidance of the German Fritz-X bombs;  
when TEXAS went to the Pacific in 1945 it was used for jamming Japanese  
radar.

The full gear compliment in each of those compartments is this:

Radar III-

REB panadapter
TDY
AN/SPA-1
TN1A/APR-1
TN2A/APR-1
TN3A/APR-1
TN4A/APR-1
MT 141/APR-1

Radar IV

RDC Receiver
RCX-1 Panadapter
RBW Panadapter
AN/SPA-1
TN1A/APR-1
TN2A/APR-1
TN3A/APR-1
TN4A/APR-1
MT 141/APR-1

We still have all the gear in Radar III, aside from the panadapter. Radar  
IV was sadly gutted by the Navy before being turned over to the state of  
Texas. If I can remember I will link a picture of Radar IV as it is today  
(in pretty bad shape -lots of fresh water corrosion for leaking rain water)  
and one from back during the war.

Best Regards,

Travis
