[R-390] r-1230/flr slightly OT

[Dave or Debbie Metz]

Doug et al:
Good luck. I used to have several of them with a PS no less and finally 
sold it.  Here is a brief problem description.  It is only the front 
end!  No IF and beyond. It outputs a signal at roughly 60 khz that went 
into something else for getting the signal out. So, I once thought of 
taking a HQ170 and interrupting the signal path to inject the signal there 
provided I would be able to move the expected signal of the 170 by 5 khz. 
Then the PS also needs to output a 5Mhz signal standard in addition to the 
filament and B+.  Lastly, and the best of course is this radio was from the 
spook world. It was part of the FLR9 system and they still think it is 
classified so probably of obtaining info is zilch.  However, someone told 
me once that Fair Radio had a partial copy of the manual.  Very impressible 
receiver , just not very useable. Supposedly they were used in this system 
with 16 radios plus a few for backup for DF work with the Wullenwebber 
array antennas. I'm sure everyone has dreams about putting that one together.
