[Premium-Rx] PLESSEY 2282A RECEIVER

[Raymond Boute]

Dear John,

This is a realy nice Rx. I have one working, and two 2286 control 
units with serious issues (a long term project).
    Still, in the past I found David Schofield 
<davesc50 at tiscali.co.uk> and "Phill at A6A2" <a6a2 at btinternet.com> to be 
very helpful on this topic.

Most likely, extension cables will be impossible to find, but as far 
as I found out last year (without fully pursuing) the connector seems 
compatible with the A-RM series somehere in the Assmann catalog 
http://www.services.assmann.com/download/data/catalogs/electronic-components/med/assmann-wsw-ec-catalog-2006.pdf 
.

Maybe you can retrieve the exact type and make an extension cable or card.

With best regards,

Raymond ON4DBV
