Hi Boomer,

No, not in regards to the R-320/FRC (the FRC designation has me stumped, not 
sure what it meant)

There was probably a geek sitting somewhere in the Pentagon assigning numbers 
to these receivers. I believe he is still up there, as the Air Force and the 
rest have an affinity for mumble jumble and numbers with slashes after them.
