[Milsurplus] The Gas receiver

[Marty R's GI-stuff haunt]

Anyone here ever heard 'o such.

Hint: related to BC728 then Emerson-built GRR-5

Came up in conversation with ex Ft. Monmouth director of 299-man research
group in mid-50s.  RS-6 info-extension display seeded chat - man says 
Emerson was most likely contractor since news'd regularly come down:

  "Eisenhower says they've got $50,000 to give Emerson in CT for something
   related to portable radios.  Find 'em a project"

He says lab had nothing to do with RS-6 but since allegedly secret
project, single-source allowed.  But lab wasn't mad, they had their
hands full with the R390 which started @ Hallicrafters.

Agreed huge RS-6 prod'n #s indicator of a "pork barrel."  But also sed
Emerson did great work citing same GRR5.

Back to the Gas rx, anyone hear of such?
