[TMC] AN/TSM-16 or FR-114/U?

[W2HX]

My plan is to put a pre-scaler divide-by-10 circuit in front of the counter. That should get me 20 MHz counting with one digit less resolution (fine by me, 20 meters is max I generally operate). Or I can do divide-by-100 for all of HF. And I think it will pair very nicely with my TMC station for frequency readout.

I will probably re-arrange the rack units in a different way but just for the picture...

Hi,

I had one of those once upon a time. A few years ago I offered it for sale and eventually for free. It stayed here. I harvested some parts and scrapped the rest. I had documentation that may still be in a file cabinet. I will look later today. I used it set the tone frequency of an adjustable PL tone generator on my service bench. and to set the the adjustable tones in two-tone paging gear.

Incidentally I have a mil surplus VHF/UHF CW/AM signal generator in it's shipping case - same status. It's a nice unit and I once used it often. 
I have better stuff now. I have decided what parts and sub-assemblies to keep. The bolometer in that unit is very attractive. I will make one more attempt to find that a new home. It is heavy. At my age I avoid picking it up!

73,
