Yes; I'll get some photos of it when I can get it out of storage.

A very kind list member made me aware of an RM-29 for sale
which I am trying to acquire.  It has the BC-222 handset socket
installed and the -222 handset plugged into it.  
Pretty good evidence ;-).

I've recently received more documents with information on
radio deployment early in the war.  One on artillery battalions
specifies SCR-194 in some positions, but also states that no
more then two of these sets be used on any one "net," that being
because of their regen receivers.  But the net chart shows
these nets all reporting to the central location.  Perhaps
the sets were remoted to keep RFI down?  Just a guess.

Haven't talked to him about it.
