Thanks, Robert. It's a little too late in the game for me to think of hoping to get an SCR-203 together, but I still regret selling off
the receiver I had.

BTW, I was looking at some connectors and cables I have, looking to try to decide whether to keep the Panzer sets I have, take on
or not, the arduous project of assembling the cables and interconnects and maybe a junction box or two, and this I learned: the
Germans standardized on ONE size connector for their ground radios, both panzer radios and field radios. There is a "blocking pin" which 
defines which role the connector serves, receiver or transmitter. I didn't really have time to see exactly how this "blocking pin" is
moved; that's for later. But I was impressed by this example of simplification and standardization.  ( However, that standard did not
apply across the board for their weaponry and equipment. )

>Hue,
PL-90 used on one end of CD-216. P/O SCR-203.
PL-97 used on both ends of CD-207. P/O SCR-206.
