Darpa contract numbers

Hi Guys,

Does anybody here know where I can lookup a DARPA contract number and find
out details of the project?

I picked up a VHF aviation radio from a surplus store and for the life of
me, I can't seem to find any information on it. There is a sticker on the
back stating serial number, DARPA contract number and few other things, but
I need to find pinout information. I believe the unit is an ADF (by the
frequency range on the dials) but I really would like to find any info
available.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

I doubt if the contract would help you. You really need a model number,
part number, or TO number.

Have you tried plugging in an antenna and turning it on and listen to what
you can receive?
Idle curiosity?

Hi Jim,

Lowtech solution eh? :-)

I would have done that, but for two things.

1) I have no idea where to connect either power of antenna
2) I have no idea of the voltage specs.

Before everyone tells me I'm an incompetant twit, I do know a thing or two
about electronics...it's a hobby, but the problem is that there are two
Cannon connectors on the back of the unit, one with 9 pins and 4 coax type
connectors and another with 13 pins and 3 coax type connectors.
Both these cannon connectors are almost exactly the same size as a standard
DB25 printer port on a PC, except for their strange pins.

From the design of the unit, it's pretty clear that it is supposed to slide
into a tray in a panel.

Anyway, I'm at a loss....

Cheers,

The sticker on the back says the following:
VHF RECEIVER ASSY
RESDEL PN 80555-1 SER.No (6368)
CONTRACT NO. F-19628-69-C-0159

That is the only identifying info on the entire unit.
I have tried Googling every conceiveable combination of these numbers, but
nothing.
So far I have found out that it was manufactured by a company called Resdel
Engineering, but there isn't much info on the net about them.
