TRC-1 etc used three-element Yagi.
Not a corner reflector.  (TRC-8 which
ran on 400MHz used a corner reflector.)
The driven element had marks on it
for adjusting the length to match
the frequency.  There ws no balun
on the antenna, so the major lobes
skewed a little.  (Trivia).

To clarify the "MUX", they were WECo
CF-1's, and they were 4-chan SSB.  The
freq allocations were like this.  Chan 1
was voice band.  Chan 2 was 4 to 8 KHz.
Chan 3 was 8 to 12 KHz, and Chan 4 was
12 to 16 KHz.  The channel oscillators
at the transmit end had to be set with
a 211 freq meter, but the channel
oscillators at the receive end was set
by zero beating tones.  (Trivia ?)

Ken's list tells it all.
