Hi all,
I own a tube type racal unit whose nameplate says : RECEIVER FINE
TUNING UNIT -
MODEL MA161. It has the usual look as other vintage Racal equipment,
is for rack-mount and is two rack units high.
I' ve found no reference anywhere. Does anybody out there know what is
it?

If it is what I think it is, it's an antenna distribution device with a
calibration oscillator that creates markers every 100KC.

Which brings to mind... anybody have schematics or docs for the Racal
MA937 or MA926 power supplies?

Thanks Scott, but I think it isn't what you think it is. I guess it
should belong to the family of external local oscillators that were
used in substitution of internal LO. It is tunable within +/- 500 Hz
with marks every 10 Hz. It has only one output connector and no input
whatsoever. Basicly what I would like to know is what receiver it was
meant for, what of the local oscillators it would substitute, and
whether anybody have any reference to point me to.
