Below this triangle of receptacles is
a fourth receptacle all by itself. That’s
the 115 VAC outlet where your power
cable goes.
Now grab the right cable. It’s clearly
labeled with a yellow band. Take the
right cable to the right receptacle.
By identifying these receptacles with
your hand first, it will be like taking
your “blindfold” off. You’ll never pin
the tail on the wrong end of the don-
key again.
Often you make these connections
while balancing the radio with your
body, steadying it with one hand, and
reaching back to make a blind connec-
tion with the other.
The secret to a good connection is to
identify the connectors with your hand
first. Reach behind the radio and find
the triangle of receptacles. The one on
the lower left (as your hand feels it) is
the OW receptacle.

ooking up cables to the back of
the AN/GRC-103 radio set’s T-983
transmitter is a lot like playing Pin the
Tail on the Donkey. Except no one
laughs when you make a wrong
hookup.
The biggest hookup problems are
connecting the order wire (OW) to the
115 VAC connector and connecting the
power cable to the OW connector.
Get either of these wrong and
you could fry a connector or
damage the amplifier panel.
