[Milsurplus] RE:Radio in USMC Gun Motor Carriage 75mm M3

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Muzzle blast from the 75mm M1897A5 made it nearly impossible for anyone to 
stay in the front of the vehicle when the gun was being fired.  On the other 
hand, I guess the auxiliary control box would have made it possible to operate 
the radio from the back of the vehicle.

Incidentally, the OK City veteran still insists that they only had a 
receiver.
