I don't believe there is such a thing as a "complete list" in tabular
form. The closest thing I ever saw to what you are seeking was a card
file containing a descriptive 5" x 7" (IIRC) card for each and every
item of C-E-M (comm-electronic-meteorological) equipment that ever had
an assigned military designation. The card file even contained cards
for equipment that had long ago been taken out of service and "retired"
or disposed of. The card file was contained in two file cabinets, each
of which was two drawers wide and about the same height as a standard
four drawer file cabinet, but they were more than four drawers high
since the drawers were each only about six inches high. That's a HELLUVA
lot of cards! I'm an old AF Logistics Command (now AF Materiel Command)
and AF Comm Command (now kaput!) type and know that those card files
were available at every AFLC depot and most AFCC Comm Areas. IIRC, the
cards were printed and distributed by whichever agency was responsible
for maintaing the JETDS at the time. I've been retired since 1988 so
stuff changes...including the accuracy of my recollections.
Now, as for a sort of comprehensive but by no means complete tabular
list, see: http://hereford.ampr.org/millist/m1.html
