[Milsurplus] TX identification?

[David Stinson]

Three possibilities:
   Most common: T-23/ARC-5 VHF transmitter, 100-150 MC.
   Uncommon: T-126/ARC-5, improved version of the above.
   Uncommon: Army Signal Corps BC-950, first production
                   of the Command Set VHF transmitter that
                   evolved into the above.  About 1000 made.

No good way to tell the first two apart without the plates.
The BC-950 will have an 815 dual power pentode as an internal
modulator. The later transmitters deleted this and
used the Command Set external modulator.
