"U-H-F Transmitter-Receiver

A NEW PORTABLE U-H-F transmitter-receiver having 75 calibrated
channels from 28 to 65 Mc has been announced by the Westinghouse
Elec. and Mfg. Co., E. Pittsburgh, Pa.  Compact and weighing 30 lbs
complete with batteries, antenna, microphone, headphones and key,
this type HR communicator combines phone or continuous wave
operation. It is suitable for communications between scattered field
groups, as in traffic, fire, large scale construction, or rescue control
work.
A crystal frequency standard permits calibration for accurate adjustment
of both transmitter and receiver to the desired frequency.  The 
equipment is designed so that several sets in a small area can operate
without heterodyne interference. Sending on one channel, receiving
on another is accomplished with the push-to-talk send-receive control.
The r-f carrier output is 0.5 watt minimum; average receiver sensitivity
is 5 microvolts. Power is obtained from a plug-in type dry battery good
for ten hours continuous operation, or longer on intermittent service. 
A four page illustrated folder  ( 85-230 ) is available. "

The cogniscenti  of course know what we're talking about.
The paragraph does include a miniscule photo of you-know-who.
No nameplate is visible where you naturally expect to see one.
Wouldn't it be fun to find one of these HR sets, or brochure 85-230 ?
Maybe some wealthy racoon hunters bought one, and it's still
stuffed away in some attic somewhere?
Well, probably not, but never say never.  -Hue Miller
