[WA2JJH]

Always wanted a mil/commercial HF radio. Just won this sucker on ebay.
Any idea where to get a manual on this? It is sold as working with sll cables. Any info kindly accepted!
It is a late model radio made by Harris. 1-30MHZ 100W

Check with Scott at http://www.american-milspec.com/
You may have to e-mail him as I don't see his CD-ROM manuals listed for some reason.

I run the RF-350K (RT-1446) with a RF-7210A ALE controller and RF-354 1KW auto amp for MARS. Great radio, but heavy!

Get a good microphone for it as the noice cancelling H-250 handset or M-80 mic are very narrow. I use a wide element Hiel mic with great results.

Opps!  It looks like the links on that site are broken.

I was a Harris land mobile dealer about 20 years ago. At that time they were located at 1680 University Ave, Rochester, NY  14610. The address I am sure of; the phone number I recall is 716-244-5830, but that is from memory.

From what I can recall, that is what they called in the USAF a PACER BOUCE radio.  See if this link will help:

Ok, just installed the remote head for 2 x RT-1446's.
Military Club/MARS Station using Pacer Bounce Gear on Elmendorf AFB. So far only using B&W Folded Dipoles but plan is to get access to a Log and an HF Discone.

Question is can I adapt the mic/headset inputs to use a Heil Pro headset?  Tried asking Heil, no joy.
Looking through the military manuals didn't help a lot.
The actual pin outs for the mic and headset jacks are so far unknown.  If someone has those handy I would appreciate it.  All I can find for the U-229 is the A-F info on pins.  Still have yet to find a diagram that shows what is pin A, B, etc..
My own experience with these rigs is limited to a little operating time the radio back in the 80's.
Any help is appreciated.

Many years ago when I had a few RT-1446's I did use a Heil hedset on them as they require a dynamic mic. Really easy, the U-229 mic connector is the standard Mil pin out.

Pin D is the Mic
Pin C is PTT
Pin A is Gnd

As I recall I ended up using the Headset jack for the speaker audio vs using Pin B. They are wired to the same point though.

The Pin Outs are in the manual.
