There is a complete TM 32-5985-217-15 somewhere out on the web; I saw
a link to it some months ago and D/Led a copy. That's this pub:

     Technical Manual
     
     Operator's, Organizational,
     Direct Support, General Support, and
     Depot Maintenance Manual
     for
     Antenna Group 
     Countermeasures Receiving Set
     AN/FLR-9(V7)(V8)
     HQ, Department of the Army
     June 1976

I printed off a copy for the ex-NSG guy that works here; he was quite
thoroughly appalled. Then I showed him the pictures of the KG-14,
KWR-37, KWT-37, and other stuff. He was shocked enough when he learned
a few years back that I had three R-390A and one R-390, but those pics 
just about took him over the edge.

I don't see CU-1338/FLR-9 mentioned anywhere in the manual, which I 
find puzzling, since it's obviously a part of the FLR-9 and the manual
covers just about everything. All the couplers in the manual are 
CU-2049 through CU-2055. I can't help wondering if you have a coupler
that is for an earlier version of the FLR-9; if so, it probably is 
similar to one of the couplers in this version of the manual. 

I'll try to scan the coupler schematics in, and provide a URL, over
the weekend -- in my Copious Free Time.
