 If you require a copy of any of these manuals, please request it by email from..  gm1sxx@amsat.org  Put 'Manual Request' or something prominent in the message title so it doesn't end up in my Junk Folder.    I will email the manual to the address you give.  If you are a licensed radio amateur, please include your callsign in the email.  The manuals are all in PDF format and some are rather large as you can see from the screen dump.

For anyone with an interest in RACAL radio gear, a visit to Henk's website is mandatory!

http://www.pdp-11.nl/racal/index.html

 

Henk's other big interest is Digital's PDP11 Computers. If you don't know what a PDP11 is, have a look at 

http://www.pdp-11.nl/

GM1SXX used to operate these things for a living. He was one of the 'men in the white coats'.

PDP's  are very different beasts from today's little  desktop computers.
