Hello-

This is a long shot, I suppose, but the people in this group seem most
likely to know the answer.

I recently acquired a VHF military radio manufactured by Thompson CSF.
(If there is any doubt as to its qualification as a "boatanchor" you
should try lifing it!) The radio is composed of three parts:

The transceiver itself, with a plate reading:
EMETT, RECEPT ER95B
981 AS 1293
S/N 26.043691 14041

A snap-on module with a plate reading:
BJ231A
S/N 3454

And an external 15 watt RF amp with a plate reading:
AMPLI-HF AM215A
981 AS 1293
S/N 26.043013 7895

It's solid state, and if I had to take an uninformed wild guess at its
vintage, I would say 70's or 80's perhaps...

Through some probing with an Ohmmeter and some educated guesses, I've
actually got this thing to power up, receive, and transmit a carrier
into a dummy load. The outboard RF power amp will not work, however,
because I'm missing some signals to drive appropriate relays inside.
Also, I haven't yet figured out how to hook up a microphone to the set.
Needless to say, schematics would be of great help at this point.

Anyone know of a European dealer in manuals that might have
documentation for the equipment mentioned above?
