[Boatanchors] Military Transmitter Question

[Carl]

The only good place for the SRR series was over the side! As a Navy ET Ive 
never seen a more unreliable POJ than RCA's replacement for the RB* series. 
Ive heard that in later years they were improved but by that time I was at 
National Company where Id worked on the AN/WRR-2A for a short time before 
transfering to National Radio.
