[Milsurplus] [MMRCG] RTTY Net Tomorrow

[Ray Fantini]

Looks like you got yourself a AN/GRR-5 or Angry 5, a 1.5 to 18 MHz AM receiver. It has a BFO but a real wide IF and super broad tuning so it would be painful to use as a CW receiver. The best thing about that receiver is it works on 6, 12, 24 volts DC or 120 volts AC they also include provisions for working with a battery pack. If it has not been changed yet the copper oxide rectifier for the AC supply is almost always bad and can be replaced with modern diodes.

Biggest controversy about the radio was it use, some say it was used as an air net warning receiver, others say it was a gas net warning receiver others just a liaison radio. I have no idea myself.

The best thing is you also got the vehicle mount and cover. Have seen them sell for more then just the radio itself.

Just thought I would show what I got at a garage sale for $70.   No clue how to use it but it’s in phenomenal shape and I reckon I’ll get it figured out.   Let me know what else I need to get it going.     Thanks.
