CTS-3/PRC,
is a vacuum tube meter, especially designed for the CPRC-26. Built in a bakelite case, it has several functions:
  • When connecting battery and radio, (cables are included), it measures battery voltage and power consumption.
  • As vacuum tube meter it has a self test function.
  • A built-in cable with plug can be plugged in the chassis to measure several data needed for alignment:
    AFC test
    Tune RF
