S-339/TKQ-2 RECEIVING SET RADAR DATA

[Jolopicus]

Welp! My first MV purchase and I feel pretty lucky to have found it. This is the pickup mounted shelter for receiving video and picture data from a Mohawk radar system mounted on a airframe.

My understanding is that this particular unit was part of a museum here in MN. Not sure which. My plan is to donate the specialized processor, digital comverters, radar processor etc. I'll be keeping (and hopefully using) the 15k diesel heater, dual 6k btu aircons, radio, crank-up mast, etc. building a nice HAM shack at the farm.

Take a look! If you have any thoughts or suggestions, let me know! I know they are rare, but if anyone has cables/connectors etc from one of these, please let me know. I think I'm missing some from the AC units.

Thanks!

Probably not a historically significant system.

Okay. I've been to dozens of mil museums and spent a decade in Army Signal and never saw one. Seems kinda cool to me. Guess we'll see eh?

Thanks! Hoping I can find the time to install it with a 400hz converter or a 400hz Genny.

To me, military systems that were significant in conflicts are what are worthy of preservation. That said, DoD procures all kinds of systems that are often dismal failures. I shed no tears when those failures are made into storage shacks, ham shacks and the like. You say one museum has already kicked this to the curb. Tells me there is no reason to suggest you preserve it.
