[Boatanchors] Military Transmitter Question

[rbethman]

Steve,

Those two receivers were never "really" paired with any "specific" 
transmitter.

The "very end" of the GRC-26 system, used R-390s, (or R-390As), in the 
shelter with the later/last version(s) of the BC-610.  The last version 
of the BC-610 was called the T-213.  Whatever upgrades or mods were done 
to "create" the T-213, they simply stenciled the front panel with date 
of depot work, and covered the original BC-610 dataplate directly with a 
T-213 dataplate.

I have one of the T-213s, and it has the "plates" stacked one on top of 
the other.

I enjoy pairing up receivers and transmitters that would have likely been used together back in the day..(and use them)   I have these 2 receivers and would like to pair one up with an appropriate military transmitter.. While a BC 610 may not be out of the question, I would like to have an idea on what to keep an eye out for..   Wish I had paid more attention to my OM (the 1st holder of W1TAV) when he used to talk about the military radios of the 50's..
