Dear Half-Mast,

I’m testing a SINCGARS RT-1523F on an AN/GRM-22 and the radio is failing LIT 797 AUX DISPLAY. When searching through TM 11-5820-890-13&P-5 (Aug 14), I can’t find that specific LIT number anywhere.

I’m assuming that the display needs to be replaced, but without the TM confirming my suspicion, I can’t be 100 percent sure. Is my TM out of date?
