Ever seen an HLN1596 Systems9000 control head?

Can't find a lick about it w/ google.
It got handed to me today and I'm trying to figure out where it originated.
It doesn't have the blue 'ASTRO' legend so I'm assuming regular Spectra
in some way. Technically it's an HLN1596A. It's got trunking buttons
(Rpgm, Lock, Srch, etc although the fact it has 3 Securenet buttons
might mean somebody was just filling space.....--either that or the
radio it came from was really, REALLY secure.....) ("Triple-DES!?....
....sorry, I'll stop now.)

Oops... guess my reading glassed need a prescription bump... just noticed it's not HLN1596A but H1596A, which the
regular bat site calls a NPD rear head replacement or somesuch. So I'll be swapping eproms later this weekend I guess...

Think you just found the control head that goes with cowtheif's FPP spectra...
