[Premium-Rx] WELL NOT EXACTLY Sweet: audio output speaker issue solved

[Peter Gottlieb]

My manual says RF-590A/R-2368 on the front but standard options are different in 
each, such as the speaker.  The 590A has it, the 2368 does not.  Somewhere I 
have the catalog which goes over some of that.  It gets worse, different batches 
of receivers are built with rather different options.  My manual was filled out 
for my exact receiver.  After I got the receiver I bought the manual from Harris 
and they wanted my serial number so that they could match the options in the 
manual to my unit.  The installation section would be a little different for the 
2368 even in small details such as the antenna connector:  BNC on the 590A and N 
on the 2368.  I just looked on ebay and there is a 2368 for sale, $3k OBO, which 
has only a single D connector on the back instead of two.

I remember in the 590A front panel the headphone jack had a short wire which 
went to a connector which attached to another connector on a wiring harness, not 
on a PCB.

Here's a guy with a 2368 talking about it, with lots of photos:

I think there's at least a partial manual here, but very slow site:
