[Milsurplus] TS-323/UR help

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Everybody,

I snagged a TS-323/UR heterodyne frequency meter. I haven't fired it up
yet but it looks like all the pieces are there and it appears to be in
very good condition. I'll apply power in the next few days. I've found a
little bit of information including what to feed it for power and a
schematic.

I haven't found any kind of user or maintenance manual (but Google has
thousands of hits). I've been Using an LM for a number of years. If this
thing is used the same way as an LM I already know what to do. I'm
asking about possible "gotcha's". I would like to have this thing
running on my bench to take over where the LM leaves off. I know there
are digital frequency counters, and digital spectrum analyzers, and all
sorts of more modern (and more accurate) ways to measure radio
frequencies. But the heterodyne meters still do what they have always
done. That includes "good enough" frequency measurement and a signal
generator function all in one small box. And they are cool.
