Mike, as a youngster, how did you ever figure out how to connect up the RU 
receiver
( U.S. Navy aircraft TRF receiver ), and then how did you power it up? I 
still find the
control box connections confusing, and to operate it right, I think it needs 
something
like -70 volts bias for the AGC to work right.
