[Hallicrafters] USS North Carolina after action report

[mac]

Mike,

Did the TBM have the the modulator cabinet or just the RF section  
standing alone.  My understanding is that if delivered together the  
resulting combination was a TBK but if a modulator was added later the  
nameplates were not changed.  Also, were you using the ship's original  
antennas and RF trunk system?
