[MRCA] Squid SSB Radio

[Ray Fantini]

There is an email reflector for the R-1051 family of receivers and the URC-35, RT-618 and URT-23 transmitter has often been a subject there. That's about the best place I know of for sixties naval technology. There web page is:

I have always wanted a URC-35 being that's one radio I have not owned yet, I do have a couple of the R-1051 receivers and newer radios like the Sunair URC-92 (GSB-800) and Harris URC-94 (RF-280) but the huge, heavy and overly complex design of the AM-3007 and RT-618 aka URC-35 do have a strong appeal.
Funny thing about that radio is although its more complex, uses a tube in the PA and in almost every way inferior to the newer all solid state radios that replace it that I have the URC-35 always sell for more money at Dayton then what I have paid for newer sets, both of my above seventies and eighties vintage transceivers were under $300 each where the cheapest URC-35 I have seen was about $450
Do you have the interconnecting cable?

OK, where are the URC-35 guys?

I picked one of these up in a moment of weakness.  Well, maybe not too weak, I did pick it up.

Does anyone know anything?  I'm going to need a manual and connectors to even start in on it.

I may consider passing it on, but shipping will be prohibitive.

What do you think?
