tinyclark Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yep, that was the tracking system for UHF and SUHF signals. It had a printer integrated with it to record all tracking info. This was removed back in the late 90's, I believe. The radome was also replaced with the standard type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
