[Milsurplus] RAK AND RAL

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Thanks  for   the  list of differences. Good to  know  the schematic  
crosses all of them.
 
I think it is  neat this  is  RCA  as  we   can either  display  this in 
the Mil com  display or we also have  a separate  'products of  rca'  display  
 whereas  we try to obtain samples of various  RCA  made  items.   (We  
even have a tiny  RCA table top electron microscope... although  it is  kind of 
 rough...)
 
It is interested to see the diversity of  products...
 
Did  RCA  do the  design on the orig  RAK RAL?
 
thx  Ed#

There  are two differences: one component wise, one otherwise.

1) The antenna  connector in the 7 is a more modern, more shielded 
connector than is on  the 5 version. It is a large "coax" type connector 
specific 
to the  Navy.

2) Most "different" models of older Navy receivers simple denote  different 
manufacturers. The different models of the RBL are a case in  point.

The only difference between the RAK-7 and the RAK-8 is that the  RAK-7 is 
made by Andrea Radio, while the RAK-8 is made by  Motorola.

The schematics are all identical, as far as I have been able  to tell.
