[Milsurplus] Manual for AM-1565/URC (AN/URC-9, SRC-20,21)

[Jim Whartenby]

AFAIK, the URC-9, VRC-24, GRA-53 and GRA-54 (and possibly others) are all the same radio.  If you have the manual for one, you have the manual for all.  I have the -9 and -24 and along with an ARC-27; they make up my UHF multi-channel radio collection.

I, like Robert use to work on them, yep I'm another tab bender.  Pretty reliable radio if memory serves me well for work done 40 years ago.  I acquired mine with the intention of using them as door stops but alas, I couldn't do it.

Although I used and worked on them 40+ years ago, this is one family of 
sets that I have never come across a single piece of paper on.  Or any 
hardware.  Does anyone have any manuals on any of it.  My recollection (also 40+ 
years old) is that AN/URC-9 was the relatively low-powered Receiver-Transmitter 
(which I don't even know the nomenclature of).  And this is a stretch but I 
think AN/SRC-20 was URC-9 plus AM-1565 and AN/SRC-21 was SRC-20 plus some 
sort of remote control.

Anyway, I just had an email from someone looking for a manual on the 
amplifier which I assume to mean that's probably all that he has.
