The T-28A was the first model, with the R-1300 800 HP engine, which was more
or less an R-2600 with only the front row of cylinders.  The USN wanted more
power so they got the T-28B with the R-1300 replaced with a R-1820 1350 hp
engine.  The T-28C was the B model with a carrier arrestor hook added.  The
A, and then B and C models were modified into T-28D light ground attack
aircraft, with the R-1820 engine and additional weapons stores points under
the wings.  The A, and presumably the B and C models had limited armament
capability for training purposes, with two .50 cal guns or two bombs or
three rockets under each wing.  The T-28D expanded that a great deal.

 

I have never seen a radio list for the T-28D but it probably would have
added FM capability for communications with ground troops, probably using an
ARC-44 or something like that.  

 

A friend of mine flew T-28D's in Thailand and Laos.
