[MRCA] [Milsurplus] [armyradios] Re: AN/PRC-74 Schematics

I agree. I searched for a GRC-106 TM and found the pdf file had missing
pages in the schematics. The information is useless when it is
incomplete. I was fortunate to have found a good pdf file and then
better yet get an original -34 manual from the radio's former owner.
Someday I'd like to get it scanned and provide anyone who wants it a
copy. I just have to get the large format pages scanned.
