Any idea what these rigs cost new?

I know what you mean. I remember them from Germany and Nam. I don't know if I will ever use it but, I like stuff to work and it looks great in the truck.

RT246 repair saga It's finally over. The RT246 is running well. We finally went through and cleaned all of the contacts and checked all of the jumper wire plugs and reseated boards etc. With the radio on a real antenna instead of a dummy load we've got 5-6 watts on low and 35 watts on high...

The A/C fed power supply is putting out 27vdc. I'm leaning toward the A9400 with that loose lead connection on the transistor. I may tear it back down and cut a notch with a dremel and use a heat sink to solder that lug onto the transistor lead. Thanks for the tip on the filter.

RT246 repair saga Well, after installing the new A9400 switching pwr supply, and putting the HV pwr supply back in, put pwr to the radio and instant smoke. Pwr off immediately and looked for source, found lead on one transistor on the new A9400 was so long that it was grounding to the chassis...

Rt246 This is great, it cleared all of my questions. Thanks, CT

Rt246 Here is what we've done. Radio was dead, checked the A9400A and determined it had two bad transistors. Replaced the A9400 with a new one from American Milspec. Next problem, radio receives but doesn't transmit. Checked the A9000A test points and don't have 25.5+ vdc at the test point...

I/ we ( a very knowledgable military radio/Ham guy) are trying to get my RT 246 functional. We found a bad switching power supply and got one from American Milspec. Now the radio will receive but will not transmit. We checked the D connector on the chassis and got the +25 vdc on the appropriate...
