[Test-Equipment] Help needed with HLI device

[Eric Lemmon]

John,

Although I'm not familiar with this particular device, your description
suggests that it might be similar to a Motorola PAC-RT unit.  Such units are
used right now by the California Highway Patrol to extend the VHF low-band
radios in the police cruisers to the officer's VHF high-band radio on his
belt when he is away from the car.  The officer can reply on his portable,
and the response is relayed back to the base over his mobile radio.  Very
handy and effective.

You might reach the appropriate audience by posting this message on the
Repeater-Builder at yahoogroups.com site.

A blue box followed me home from the Lawerenceville, GA hamfest in November.

It was aon a table full of portable and not so portable test equipment.  The
thing is called HLI Remote Signal Extender, Model 67R-M, serial no 502.  It
looks like early sand state with IC voltage regulators.  Has jacks,
switches, binding posts and a few controls.  It has a property tag from the
Illinois State Police.

I'm sure that HLI stands for Hekemian Laboratories, Inc.  In MD.  They were
a manufacturer of advanced telecommunication test equipment and systems.  I
see by Google that they were purchased in 2001 by Spirent Communications. 
Investigating their website revealed nothing about Hekemian products.  I
also noticed that some of the Hekemian products were sold to Harris/Dracon
division.  No luck there so far.

I am seeking a manual or at least schematics of this box.  It looks too nice
to raid for parts while there us a chance it could be adapted to some other
use.

Does anyone recognize this gadget? Can anyone help me find out anything
about this box?

TIA,
John, W4NET
