I do not think these were available until the late 1940s. For VHF on 
subs, I think they used AN/ARC-4s and SCR-624s. By 1950, however, the 
URRs were all over the place.

Speaking of which...

In the stack of '-13s, '-27s, and '-35s here, I have one oddball - a 
National set called AN/URR-28(XN-3). I suspect this was perhaps a 
competitor to the '-27, and lost the fight. I know this may be a long 
shot, but does anyone have any information about this set?
