[Premium-Rx] ROM or EPROM losing its content

[Michael O'Beirne]

Gents

I recall from distant memory that REGGCO was a breakaway from the slightly 
incestuous EW group of WJ, Nems-Clarke and Norlin and my 1991/92 "Jane" 
gives the location as Rockville, Maryland, which is deffo EW/CIA type 
country!  The entry is for the RG-5545A and it's not dissimilar to the Racal 
RA1795, but it does have real meters and a small CRT.

Does anyone know any more?

I suspect the chances of a manual being available is more than remote.
