[TMC] AN/FRR-49 aka FFR-502 variant

[Roy Morgan]

TMC-ers,

(Pardon if this has appeared here - I've been on no-mail for a while):

I've received a query from Greg White,  VE3FAX, "G.White" 
<stargazer at sprint.ca> asking about a variant of the FFR-49 receiver:

(I don't yet know were he downloaded a manual from.)  I find very little 
info on this radio, either on the TMC site, or on the web in general.  The 
LOGSA site search finds nothing.  Can anyone provide any further information?

Thanks,
Roy
(I have one FRR-49 here.)
