[Milsurplus] RECEIVER TYPE R1543A ?

[John Vendely]

Hi Nick,

The AN/FRR-79 was a 1970 or so vintage dual diversity, remotely 
tuneable, 4 channel ISB HF receiving set manufactured by Litton-Amecom.  
It was a large, elaborate set arranged in a manner reminiscent of TMC's 
roughly contemporary DDRR-10 series.  It had two receiver RF/converter 
units, a common synthesizer, and IF/audio units.  There can't have been 
many of them made.  I've never actually laid eyes on one, and that's 
about all I know about them.  It was a receiver only guys like us could 
love...

73,
