[ARC5] German Tank Radios

[Gene Smar]

Todd et al:

     The Pearl Harbor SCR-270 portable RADAR unit (the -271 is for permanent 
installation) is on display at the Historical Electronics Museum near 
Baltimore, MD.  http://www.hem-usa.org/ .  The RADAR, SN 12, was relocated 
from Opana Point, KH6, to a university in Canada until the 1980s.  The HEM 
then took title and has it on display just outside the main building.

     From everything I've read on this unit, it was never set up at Vint 
Hill Farms.

IIRC, wasn't the 'Pearl Harbor' radar set up there was well?
