[AMRadio] AMRadio Digest, Vol 113, Issue 7

Fri Jun 14 15:06:36 EDT 2013

Since there is no "authentic" R/T setup for those vehicles, you may also
consider a ARC 5 setup.
I remember seeing several jeeps with the 80 and 40 meter R/T and Modulator
and dynamotors in the back, probably liberated from some downed aircraft as
there was a shortage of jeep radios as I was told.
Not quite as bulky as the TCS.
