[Premium-Rx] Harris R-2368

[Steve Sykes]

Hello Heinz,

The noise blankers are fairly rare, not many were made.  I suspect is it
similar for the AFSK converter.
One thing to be aware of is that there may not be an audio amplifier
installed.  It is easily discerned by the connector on the back panel,
the radios with a amplifier should have a set of D connectors, usually 1
25D and 2 37D plus 2 terminal strips.  The R-2368 was designed to plug
into a buss on a ship so the radios without the audio amp will have a
large multi-pin connector.  It is no problem all the signals go to this
connector but an external amplifier must be used.
As to price, depending on condition sellers asking prices range from
less than $1000 to more than $2000.
