[Premium-Rx] Help with id'ing an antenna multicoupler

[Llgpt at aol.com]

Group,
 
Recently acquired a U.S. Navy multicoupler. This is a real beauty, and runs  
very cool unlike the Sylvania CU-1280 I had a few years ago. Description as  
follows:
 
Nomenclature tag on front panel reads:
 
                                                                            
Serial  No. A4
                                                       29355-0135929
                                                   MF/HF Multicoupler
                                                       CU-2279/BRC
                                       Des.Act.: Navalex Ctr. Charleston, SC
                                          Contract   N00612 - 84 - D - 0105
 
Standard Rack Mount, 3.5" height. 10" deep from back of front panel. Solid  
state. beautifully built, deutz fasteners on top cover.
 
Has two channels, A & B each has an N antenna input, 4 bnc outputs and  1 
test bnc output.
 
Covers 100 khz to 100 mhz, perfdormance drops off beloow 100 kc and above  
100 mc (oops, khz, I'm old) Appears to have unity (no gain) when inserted  
between antenna and receiver, and 6db gain when "Amo On" button is engaged. Each  
channel Amp On button is lit by leds, and has a red "overload" section on the  
tiop half of the buttton. A friend obtained two of these off the E place and  
offered me one. Very quiet and a beautifully crafted piece of equipment.
 
However, I cannot find any documentation anywhere on it. I work for the  
Federal Government and have friends in supply and logistics attempt to run down  
the contract number with no luck.
 
Seems interesting the Destroyer Squadrons out of Charleston would have  
purchased these on their own contract?
 
Hope someone can shed some light on these.
 
And, no, there aren't anymore available.
