[Milsurplus] RT-68/RT-70 Antenna Mount

[W7QHO@aol.com]

The RT-68 and RT-70 equipments were usually used together in vehicular 
systems (GRC-8, VRC-18, etc.) but the Signal Corps also provided for portable 
use of these sets operating alone.  Materials were provided for this purpose 
including battery boxes, power cables antenna sections (AB-22, 23 & 24) and 
an antenna base that plugged into a socket cast into the front panel of the 
sets.

Has anyone ever seen these mounts?  The nomenclature may have been something 
like MT-652/GR.  From the one illustration I have it would appear to be about 
3" long and maybe 3/4" in diameter.  The antenna sections screwed into the 
top end, the bottom would have had a protruding peg, machined to "push and 
turn to lock" in the socket cast into the front panels of both sets.  There 
was a short pigtail with a BNC connector to connect to the antenna jack on 
the sets.  For the RT-68 this would have been part of Modification Kit 
MX-898/GR.  Don't have a kit No. for the RT-70 but would have been part of 
the PRC-16 configuration.

Anyone know where I could get some of these mounts???
