[Milsurplus] TCS 9 interior fireworks

[Ray Fantini]

I had a TCS setup for a while and have to agree with the hidden message,
do not think they intended that as a CW radio. the lack of a send
receive switch and side tone along with the receiver coming back between
key clicks leads me to think it was intended as a voice radio. was their
a legend on how it was a civilian design that was adapted to military
service? have not seen any civil equal but not up on pre ware marine
radios. will say it was a great AM radio, with push to talk and so on
but poor CW set.
