I wonder if anyone on the list would have any  knowledge about remoting my 
RA-1794. I am really only  interested in  being able to tune the radio with a 
remote knob type vfo rather than the  push button scheme it uses internally.
I notice it has an IEE-488 interface  and a card installed called a SCORE 
(serial control of Racal  Equipment).

I don't remember the 1794 having an IEE-488 interface but it is a while now  
since I sold mine so perhaps it does.
 
This link will take you to the complete manual, including infomation on the  
SCORE interface.....

The 1796 does have a rotary tuner and the sets are otherwise very similar,  
to the extent that I did consider at one time adding the rotary  encoder 
circuit to the 1794 and trying it with 1796 firmware.
I never did though, so can't comment any further on that idea:-)
