[R-390] Anyone know what our military now uses for receivers, not that R3...

[Tom Chirhart]

The Coast Guard migrated from the Collins 651S1 to the Racal 2368 around
1988-89 and they remain in service.  We pulled about 30 651S1's from
service from the Coast Guard Communications Station in Miami/NMA during
that time and piled them up for survey and took them to DRMO at
Homestead AFB.  The last ones I pulled from service was in Alexandria VA
in 1994/95, they also went to DRMO, at Ft. Belvoir, VA. A few of them
still had the nixie tubes but most were converted to LED. We did have a
few 51S1's that were installed in the TCC's Transportable Communications
Centers for monitoring guard channels on HF Air-Ground or operating
frequencies. The TCC's were upgraded around 1995 and the older TCC
trailers were stripped and most of the gear went to DRMO, some went to
DRMO at Ft. Belvoir VA after being stripped out at Alexandria, VA.

Well, I know they are using the Ten Tec RX-331 which is a black box  
receiver. The RX-340 is the same receiver with a front panel etc.

military/government now uses, with the R390, the  Drake
R8B, the W.Johnson HF-1000 almost a thing of the  past?
