[Milsurplus] A couple of matters....

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

which I hope some of you will find interesting.

1) So far, in my search of several places, including past issues of ER Mag, I find no defintive 
articles on putting the TCK on the air. I will receive "my" TCK-4 in late April and intend to 
begin working on it immediately.

Therefore, I'm going to do it on my own, although I think I'll prepare an article for ER Mag 
detailing my procedure. Some may find it of interest.

2) In the several tons of radio gear, mostly receivers, I received from the estate of an old 
employer with whom I worked in the 1970s, one particular receiver is, at least to me, 
extremely interesting! It is an all solid-state receiver of a type which was used, apparently, 
by the FBI. This receiver has no RF amp stage, but its specs are very high, and it uses a 
series of pie-shaped modules, each of which contains one frequency-determining unit. The 
band switch also mechancially rotates a large plate which can contain up to 12 of these 
modules. Thanks to someone on the ARC5 forum, I obtained a manual for this receiver 
which the seller found in a dump and rescued.

That receiver is in the queue to be restored, and I intend to write an article on it for ER Mag.

Later,

Ken W7EKB
