[MRCA] Delco 5300 and PRC-64

[Al Klase]

Breck, Dale, and the Gang,

The 3885 crystals arrived today.  Thanks Dale.  The 5300A seems to be 
working well.  it even loads up the PRC-74 whip.

A couple of questions and needs:

    Could use a picture of the proper lamp holders.  I have some others
    screwed into the holes, but would like to find or reproduce originals.

    Need some 331 bulbs.  A radio shack 1.5V miniature grafted onto a
    327 base is working OK for antenna current.

    Longshot:  Anybody have a battery cover.

Operating comments:

     Using an earphone from a AN/PRR-9 (200 ohms DC)  This is way too
    hot, making me turn the (RF) gain control down pretty far messing up
    AGC action.  I'll either find a quieter 'phone or build an external
    AF gain control.

     Using mic hacked of an H-250.  Works well.

    PRC-64 TM says receiver coils L-4 and L-4A are associated with
    frequency "1".  Not so in 5300A it's L-1 and L-1A.  Looks like only
    position "1" will properly tune 75 meters in the 5300, which has a
    larger overall frequency range than the PRC-64.


Regards,
Al
