[Premium-Rx] Plessey PR 2280 receiver series

[machine.age at comcast.net]

Gents

Its all in Osterman's book.  I owned all these rigs. The 2280 is the predecessor of the 82, not the overall series.

The 82 added some features, see Osterman. If you don't own a copy, get one.

> PRS 2280 is the overall series.

> The PRS 2282 is the stand alone receiver with all the modules and knobs, - 
> ie what we all want - but to confuse everyone, the front panels on all 
> models are marked (top right) "PRS 2280".

> The PRS 2281 is the remote-control only version of the PRS 2282.  It is
> fitted with a non-local control front panel (Module J).  Control of this
> receiver can only be exercised via the remote interface of Module H, but the
> audio gain control and audio selector switch are retained on the front panel
> for local control of audio signals.

> The PRS 2283 is a slave receiver for local operation with a PRS2282 master
> receiver, usually mounted in a rack or cabinet directly above or below the
> 2282.  It is fitted with a non-local control front panel (Module J) but is
> not fitted with Module F (the frequency standard and the 1st and 2nd LOs).
> This is because these frequency injections are obtained by external cabling
> from outputs on the master receiver, in the normal master/slave set up.
> Like the 2281, all it has on its front panel is the loudspeaker, the speaker
