[MRCA] [armyradios] Re: [Milsurplus] AN/PPS-4

The PPS-4A is self contained, unlike the PPS-5 with the easily losable feed.
I also bought a couple of PPS-5s from Mike Murphy about 10 or more years ago
and one did come with the feed and everything else required. Regards - Mike

Eugene,

I don't know about price, but make sure you get ALL the needed bits or be
prepared for a loooong search. I've been looking for a feed horn for my
PPS-5 for better than 10 years w/o any luck.

Also, the only really useful manuals are the depot maintenance manuals,
ending in -15; -25; -35. They are also VERY tough to get.

Finally, do you intend to power the set? Magnetrons (if used) don't age
gracefully and may blow over after some years in storage, when powered.
Also, can you LEGALLY transmit on the set's frequency?

Best,
-John
