It was installed in a P2V-7 that became an airtanker.  I kept the Mite, the
loop supply and the converter, along with the ARR-41 that drove it.  I think
they used it primarily to receive fleet broadcasts.

Anyway, that was thirty years ago, I still love Mites, but also have two
28ASR's plus a GRC-122 shelter with Kleinscmidt equipment, plus a UGC-74.
The GRC-122 is mounted in a M-715 truck, so it is good to go for field day.

The pictures are of my slightly modified M-715 with GRC-122 shelter
