[ARC5] AF Depot poser???

[Geoff]

Around 68 I went to Rome AFB a few times to be on hand for a demo of a jeep 
mounted SSB KW transceiver plus a SSB HT using a direct conversion scheme. 
They were built on contract by National to evaluate the concept for a new 
round of gear. There were also Army personnel on site.

The tests were successful but I dont know if anyone received a production 
contract.
