Dear Editor,
The SM-756/APR-44(V) radar
signal simulator, NSN 6940-01-
058-1066, is in short supply.
This simulator radar gun is used to
test the APR-44(V) radar warning
system and the AN/ALQ-162,
automatic radar jammer.
There are two reasons this gun is
in short supply: one reason can’t be
solved, but the other can.
The reason that can’t be solved
is the gun is no longer being made.
Production stopped in the early
1990s and has not started again.
The reason that can be solved is
the lack of turn-in of unserviceable
and serviceable assets of this
gun. It is vital that these assets
be turned in for repair. This is the
only avenue still open for supply and
reissue of this piece of equipment.
So, check your shops and storage
areas if your mission includes the
use of this gun or if you believe
your mission once did. If you find
this gun, whether serviceable
or unserviceable, turn it in to
Tobyhanna Army Depot. Be sure to
enter the Condition Code.
Here’s where to send it:

Building 2, Bay 1
Condition Code ___
Tobyhanna, PA 18466-5027

Editor’s note:
TM 11-6940-214-20P covers the
parts for this simulator radar
gun. Tobyhanna will take any
parts you might have, too. Could
be you have a loose part or two
that you have wondered about
since you came to the shop. They
might go to this gun!
Dear Editor,
There’s a great resource on the Internet for finding out if a B16 (CECOM
LCMC) supply request has been cancelled.
The web page is called CA Notes, with CA standing for cancellation. You
reach the website by going to:
Log in with your AKO login and password and you’ll go straight to the CA
Notes page. Once there, enter the document number, DODAAC and NSN.
Information on a request will show up on this website within 24 hours of
receipt. If a request has been cancelled, you’ll know it and you’ll know why.
The website can also help before you make a supply request. Enter the
NSN of an item and you can see the material status telling you whether it’s
available or obsolete or if you need to order the next higher assembly.
