PEWS. Platoon Early Warning System. DT-577(V) / TRS-2(V) et cetera.
I bought a unit nearly 30 years ago, couldn't get it to do anything
(wasn't programmed), so I scrapped it. I have the top lid, a gasket,
and the spikes readily findable.
I have now acquired another unit, mostly complete, but, what I'd like to
find is, the small antenna, which is a piece of wire soldered into an
acorn nut, and painted black, and, if possible, another wire jumper
connector/code block, found just inside the battery door, for programming.
If these aren't available to obtain for an absurdly reasonable price,
then perhaps someone could measure the antenna for me, from the bottom
edge of the net, to the top of the wire loop at the tip? And, if the
connector/code block with wire loops isn't available, I may be able to
just use some pin jumpers from a computer. Normally these transmitters
are programmed by cutting jumper wires, which I'd rather not do without
a replacement.
A pic of a unit with the little black antenna can be seen here, the
piece on the right, NOT the "rubber duck" antenna:

I couldn't find a pic of the code block online, but can take a pic if
someone would like to see it.
Anyone have any bits and pieces laying around?
Kurt
