[MRCA] Need Info: R-892/URR-44

[Al Klase]

Hi Chris,

In the mean time, this showed up:  http://www.introni.it/URR44.html  
*Alas the .pdf manual is corrupted.*
*The particular radio in question was made by General Instrument Corp.  
This is something a friend is acquiring.  I'll know more when I see it.  
You may be right about it being a moral set.

Regards,
Al

I looked like the manufacturer took the SLRM chassis, put adapter plates over the holes for octal tubes to mount sockets for minature tubes.  The frequency range is very close to that of the SLRM as well.  Do you have any pictures?
