Neil,

I haven't really been interested enough in the Earhart fiasco to remember 
most of what I've read about it.  But I didn't think there was any question 
about what radios she carried other than if I recall correctly some 
speculation that she might have dumped some of it.  But in any case, the SCR-183 and 
SCR-283 were at the time current US military sets.  And not in plentiful 
supply.  Although I won't go so far as to say that no one could or would have 
broken the rules, it's highly unlikely that she could have gotten her hands 
on whichever of the two would have worked in her airplane..
