+The '''CC Systems A-7''' is a "Panoramic Surveillance Receiver" in a [[TM506]] mainframe.
+It is apparently built around a [[1401|Tektronix 1401]] spectrum analyzer chassis with a custom mixer front-end extending the 1401's 1-500 MHz range to the 500-1000 and 1000-1500 MHz ranges. The display section is a modified [[MR501|Tektronix MR500]] monitor plug-in.
