[MRCG] Anybody familiar with the R-808/GRC-14 receiver?

[Ed Zeranski]

I have an R808,  several years ago someone brought the whole GRC-14 to 
MRCG. BIG!! The set had a reputation for not being reliable due to the 
connectors not staying secure during transit. The receiver runs on 
24-28VDC  or 110 line AC and it does have the TTY driver built  The 
manual, I have one, is bigger than an LA Yellow Pages. It must have been 
the heaviest load ever designed for an M38 Jeep
