Got a new radio in a roundabout trade this week. This is the transmitter/exciter mate to the R-1051 receiver, which I have one of (I have three more of them for sale), the transmitter is the T-827B. Covers 2-30 MHz, AM/CW/USB/LSB/ISB/FSK, in 100 Hz steps. Weighs about 50 pounds, rack mounted. I believe the output is about 1 watt, not much as it was designed to be used with the AM-3007 amplifier that jumps it to 100 watts. These were configured in stacks, the R-1051 on the bottom, the T-827 on top of that, followed by the AM-3007 amp, and an antenna coupler topped it all off. The stack was called the AN/WRC-1 set. There are still ships that have this stack, though most upgraded to the Harris RF-590 series by now.
My unit is missing a few of the modules, so it won't be on the air until I find them and the manual for it. If anyone knows where I can find either, I appreciate it.
BTW - have already tried the following places for parts to no avail: Fair Radio, Murphys Surplus Warehouse, Surplus Sales of Nebraska.
