Default Need help id'ing an antenna multicoupler

Recently acquired a U.S. Navy multicoupler. This is a real beauty, and runs
very cool unlike the Sylvania CU-1280 I had a few years ago. Description as
follows:

Nomenclature tag on front panel reads:


Serial No. A4
29355-0135929
MF/HF Multicoupler
CU-2279/BRC
Des.Act.: Navalex Ctr. Charleston, SC
Contract N00612 - 84 - D - 0105

Standard Rack Mount, 3.5" height. 10" deep from back of front panel. Solid
state. beautifully built, deutz fasteners on top cover.

Has two channels, A & B each has an N antenna input, 4 bnc outputs and 1 test
bnc output.

Covers 100 khz to 100 mhz, performance drops off below 100 kc and above 100 mc
(oops, khz, I'm old) Appears to have unity (no gain) when inserted between
antenna and receiver, and 6db gain when "Amp On" button is engaged. Each
channel Amp On button is lit by leds, and has a red "overload" section on the
top half of the buttton. A friend obtained two of these off the E place and
offered me one. Very quiet and a beautifully crafted piece of equipment.

However, I cannot find any documentation anywhere on it. I work for the Federal
Government and have friends in supply and logistics attempt to run down the
contract number with no luck.

Seems interesting the Destroyer Squadrons out of Charleston would have
purchased these on their own contract?

Hope someone can shed some light on these.

And, no, there aren't anymore available.
