Nice effort and great job!

How did your friend make out? was he able to copy any of the signals?

Unfortunately he didn't answer to my messages.
I met him a few months back in North and he was very busy restoring a new acquisition:
A military RACAL TR-15S (synthesized) made in South Africa in the 70's and used by both SA and Portuguese forces.

I used to repair this equipment along with the portable (backpack) Racal TR-28. The 15S was top of its class in those days as far as I remember. It could operate mobile on a vehicle or fixed by using the power adapter.

Mauricio was radio operator during the war and used these equipments in combat.
I am a few years younger than him, so I missed the war for just one year.
