> Can anyone fill me in on this rig? Freq. output, ???

Yes!  It's a three part navy portable transmitter assembly.  The IF unit
covers 350 to 1,000 kc, and weighs 56.5 lbs.  The HF unit covers 3,000 to
18,100 kc and weighs 86.5 lb.  The power supply and modulator unit wants 120
volts at 800 cycles and about 800 va, and weighs 69.6 lb.  The units come in
transit cases for portability. There are motor-generators and an
engine-generator for power.  Output is very conservatively rated 100 Watts
with an 803 in the final in both units.   This is a very nice transmitter.
The GO-9 for airborne use is almost identical, weighing a bit less and
having no am capability.
