> Hi radar buffs,

> I'm looking for info concerning a rather odd IFF apparatus: the AN/ UPX-7
> airborne IFF interrogator.
> According to the www.tpub.com<http://www.tpub.com> website, it was an
> interrogator set used to provide checking facilities for the ubiquitous
> Radar Identification Set AN/APX-6.
> The main part of it was the RT-198/UPX-7 interrogator, which looks nearly
> identical to the RT-82/APX-6 transpondor.
> I suspect that the RT-198 was actually an RT-82 modified in such a way to
> use its circuitry for generating standard double-pulse interrogations,
> rather than generating replies.
> Who knows about it?  Any schematic dwg on hand?
> I would buy a copy of technical manual, if any available.
