[Premium-Rx] FW: Cubic R-3040 ?

[A. and T. MacDonald]

Hi Folks,
 
I just purchased a Cubic R-3040 on ebay.  Here's a link if you're
curious: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7603121526&rd=1&sspa
gename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1>
&item=7603121526&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 (item number
7603121526)
 
I suspect that it is a specialized HF receiver with multiple
simultaneous IFs (for the FAA?), and I bought it as a front-end for some
DSP radio experiments I am running.  I haven't received it yet, but am
looking for anybody who's had experience with one of these.  I found a
reference to the R-3050 in Fred's bible, but not the R-3040.  I suspect
that I might be similar to a 3030 perhaps with some parallel IF strips
on the back of the 40.455 first IF?  Not really sure what it's intended
application was.  I plan to digitize the IFs for introduction into some
DSP downcoversion software I am writing.  If there's any real-estate
inside, I might just put a TI or Analog Devices DSP board in for an
integrated demodulator option. Thanks for any leads .   Educated guesses
welcome!
