1019: The "business end" of the antenna feed horn.
Receive antenna window is on the left, transmit antenna window is on the right.
The comparator (in photo label) is the first component of the MSR receiver.
0009: Closeup of the receive and transmit antenna windows.
Transmit window shows smudges from burns or arcing, which must be cleaned with Everclear before further radiation.
