Hi, Rex--

Yep, I have tried GOOGLE and I have this manual.  It is for the rotator
itself and includes some info on the selsyn-style (old-fashioned!)
control head.  I have a number of these old control heads as well,
but I am looking for the manual for the DIGITAL control head for
the 3501 that "talks" to the rotator over a 2-wire system.

I also have the military manual for the 3501 rotator somewhere, which
is much bigger but does not contain any info on this DRC-1 digital
control head.

Actually I had never seen a controller like this one before, so never
knew they even existed until I received this one yesterday.  And
it says Telex Hy-Gain on it, so it is a bit more recent than all of
the old 3501 rotators that I have seen that just say Hy-Gain on them
and were manufactured prior to the acquisition by Telex.

It must be pretty rare because I got nowhere with GOOGLE -- which
is why I reluctantly came to the CQ-Contest reflector asking for
some help.

Thanks  --John  W0UN
