Although I have no data to support this, I suspect the T-827K was a militarized/ruggedized version of the RF-1310. Just the front panel has similarities with two displays, one for freq/channel and the other for operating parameters etc. I am sure there are plenty of differences, but I wonder what the insides look like on the “K”

I believe that the T-827K was a completely different design from the preceding models. The K was a new design by Harris with no turret, 6-pack, etc. It may have been a repackage of another Harris exciter, but I am not very familiar with Harris equipment. I’d like to see a K model manual some day.

My latest project includes a Harris 1310 Exciter along with a RF-1110 amplifier. Have not had much time to play with it yet, still need to bring in rack and mount all the stuff up. Just fast look at it revealed a blown FET in the combined driver amplifier and think there may also be some control issues.

The goal is to get something that has more power then the RF-350K for RTTY. Hope the solid state amplifier will be quite compared to the blower in the URT-23

On the T-827 exciters think the big difference would be between the old style if it has the old style transistor six pack and the newer six pack that had integrated circuits. The 837K looks completely different and wonder if it still used a six pack or the two tube turret? I don’t know for certain but always suspected the six pack, reference oscillators  and turret assemblies in the R-1051 and T-827 and maybe the RT-618 exciter for the URC-32 are all the same part number and interchangeable or at least interchangeable within the same series.

Cannot imagine the T-827H or J costing that little coming from General Dynamics, suspect the prices are for estimated value to enter on the paper work when you turn in the radios?

I believe the big price jump was from the good old Stewart-Warner T-827J to the new Harris T-827K. Quite different machines.
