[R-390] Need Info on antenna Coupler

Mon, 28 Jul 2003 13:41:46 -0400

I'd be interested in more info as well. I also have one in the rack, 
twin-ax connectors in a box, along with the C-1012 Control Monitor 
sitting along side on the floor missing its tags and covers. By just 
glancing, I'd guess you would need one of the control monitors in order 
to utilize the CU-286 properly. Not sure where the voltage to drive the 
auto tune motor in it would come from, perhaps the R-391? If not, then a 
remote power supply? My '286 looks like it has a standard AC power 
connector on the back for the rest. Sure would be nice to get it all 
lashed up together and working. I think Hank also has most if not all of 
the pieces by now for one of these stations.
