[Milsurplus] RCA Victor ATR-11A info?

[Hubert Miller]

Hi, [ name deleted for privacy, as this was not a group mail note.
 I am replying with note to whole group, as it "may", more likely,  maybe not, have wider interest.
I do have an ATR-11 and the dyno and the LF tuner and probably ? power cables. Since then i have acquired some other aircraft trans - receivers and as the ATR-11 as-is only covers 80, it's not real interesting to me. I had only the ETCO schematic too. I should have lived with that. The schematic and some experience and that would be enough to go on. I even answered an ad from someone in Canada who had one "in the shipping crate", but it turned out he had no paper at all and didn't know anything about anything.
So what i did. I sacrificed. I had a very nice RCAF xmtr, patrol seaplane "CANSO" type, think the type was ATR-1 but memory now failing me, in shipping trunk WITH power connector. I have the manual but i don't recall if that was needed. Anyway what i done was, swap this radio for an ATR-11 manual. Maybe a mistake, but it's over and done with. The "manual" received was individual page scans and 96% of the manual. Oh well - a deal is a deal. I somehow got a request from  French - Canadian ham for this ATR-11 material. He volunteered to put all these individual page scans into one unified file. So, somewhere, on my computer, i hope i have the only digital scan of the ATR-11 manual, or almost all of it. Truth to tell, i would at this moment prefer to have the large seaplane transmitter instead.  I bought it from Canada decades ago and even had to hire a "customs broker" to handle the importation paper.  The receivers for the seaplane xmtr were either AR-2 or AR-6, i don't remember, the difference is only the supply voltage, 12 or 24, and i may have the model number wrong.
So i 9still have this ATR-11 set, may be the most complete one extant; also i have the RA-? and a matching, smaller xmtr about the same size as this rcvr. Can't recall the model type of the xmtr at this instant. Brain not fully booted up. This RCAF gear is "available", meaning i have other priority projects. So anyway i guess i done my patriotic chore and got this ATR-11 manual digitized. My legacy, i guess. Anyway this is my rather long digressive answer to Jack's inquiry. I will look later today on my computer for the manual; it's not on this phone. I feel optimistic about the result of this mission.
Oh, yes - there's a Youtube video of a Canadian ham testing out the smaller of the two setups i mentioned above - the RA-2/ 6 and the transmitter which model i cannot recall. This transmitter does do AM and CW up to 20 Mcs. so it opens the door to more time travel fun.
Oh, i just recalled, i think i have one more ATR-11 trans-receiver, but no accessories with this one.
My plan is to move back to WA state from Oregon and then get to work on downsizing what i have stored up there.

>Hi Hue,
I just obtained one of these things, and am finding there is little
information on it.
In my research, I did see an email from around 2010 or so saying you
had a poor ETCO schematic for it. This maybe a long shot, but
>any chance you still have it?
