[Milsurplus] Collins R-864 Receiver

[Dave Merrill]

I believe I own the only known example of the R-864(XC1)/URR. I found it
about 30 years ago at Dayton. It came with a photocopy of the manual with
many hand written corrections and notes.

Some images that I supplied can be found at

You can also check page 110 of the current edition of Shortwave Receivers
Past & Present by Fred Osterman. Some of the specs in the Osterman book are
not correct however. They should be listed as:
