Our Club has several of these units doing service
in our Club fleet. Apart from having no reverse polarity protection
which lets the smoke out (this from someone who has found out the hard way
when red and black leads were swapped over between the battery and the panel),
they are a fairly good unit. The main problem I am aware of is that the
mechanism on the decadic rotary channel selection switches tends to wear out
over time and has to be replaced - finding the right switches and someone with
sufficient patience and skill to replace them can be a problem (our current
CFI has managed admirably to date !).
I think we get our units serviced by Arnie
Hartley of Airborne Aviation at Narromine. You might like to contact him (he
certainly has a range of manuals for all sorts of avionics bits and
pieces).
The Terra company got swallowed up by Trimble (www.trimble.com) who still have a "Terra by
Trimble" range of products. You never know, they might be able to help
out.

Can anyone advise me where I can obtain a manual for a
Terra Transceiver Tx 720. We have one which receives beautifully, but
does not transmit effectively. The local Avionics shop tells me the
microphone works. We are unwilling to spend more money with them. We
suspect the wiring and want a manual so we can see how it should
be.
