Hue & Group,

I don't have any anecdotal info to recount but I have a French TM on the 
AN/GRC-9 dated 11/01/1960.  The TM also includes info on the AM-66A RF amplifier 
and its associated dynamotor power supply.  This was after the French pulled 
out of Indochina I think (the bar on my Vietnam Service Medal says "1960-    ").
