C'mon, you can't say that

SCR-593 Receiver, Warning-Network (BC-728), four channels, 2-6 Mhz,
powered by 2-V battery; TM 11-859, 1943.

The "warnings" were for HCN, Robert.

On BC-728/GRR-5, I go with direct info fm head of labs, Ft. Monmouth
1960-74.  Not some selectively discarded make-work GI doc.

All I can divine from that reference is they were still trying to justify
an over-design/
over-build

Find someone fm late Korea/'Nam that ever used a GRR-5

Now on RS-6.  I've talked directly with a Moto alum.   A CIA 'nam user. 
Plus a Ft. Jackson Ranger
RS-6 & '109 employer.  This makes me  think the RS-6 was a CIA spec'd
catalog MOTO survival set.  SAC bought a few hundred & Army bought 1000s
that went out thru MARS down this way.
Then there were the 'lost' agency units.  This burns up my RS-6 porkbarrel
notion

And Robt., can you cite a declassified reference on  the RS-6?
