[Milsurplus] SCR-399

Then there came along the AN/GRC-26 , and then
something after that. 

I've had experience with the 399,  and one 499, some
where along the way.

 From TM 11-281,  March 1945, 1.Gemeral:  "..There are
no differences  in the operating components and power sources
of the two sets, but Radio Set SCR-399-A is usually installed
as a mobile station, and Radio Set SCR-499-A is ordinarily
set up as a fixed station.  To facilitate its use as a mobile
station, Radio Set SCR-399-A is shipped with the operating
components and the power source installed in Shelter HO-17-A
and Trailer K-52-( ), respectively.  A shelter and trailer are
not provided with Radio Set SCR-499-A since it is not
intended for mobile use.  Its components are shipped in 23
boxes..."

That's all she wrote.
