[Premium-Rx] RF-7110/7120A/7241A

[Chuck Maurer]

Eugene,
You have a very nice Harris RF-7210A Mil Spec ALE (Automatic Link
Establishment)  controller with the latest software upgrade.  It was
designed to work with a RF-1310A exciter and RF-590A premium RX.  I
understand that this controller cost the Fed. about $15,000 to $20,000.  It
started life as a RF-7110 controller which is an obsolete early form of ALE
called  AUTOLINK which is Harris only.  It was them upgraded to a RF-7210A
Mil Spec AUTOLINK II called MIL-STD-188-141B.  Go to the following sites for
additional info.

(This site has manuals for the RF-7210 controller - very close to what you
have)

Also visit the following site for a ham based PC driven view of ALE for
emergency operations.

Bottom line - "you did good".  It is probably the best of the best external
standalone ALE controllers.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
