[Milsurplus] GP-x Transmitter, RAX Rcvr? + TU Wanted

[Thekan, Paul]

For what it's worth..(probably not much)


 In the TV series  "Victory at Sea"  there is one episode or a segment
of one that focused on military operations in South America. It showed
for what maybe lasted all of 2 seconds the interior of a gondola of a
Navy patrol blimp. In it , and I've only seen this clip twice, I could
have sworn I'd seen a GP xmtr and a couple of RAX receivers. I could
really be all wet on this but that's what I thought I saw. Maybe if
someone has this Victory at Sea episode on VHS or DVD they could do a
freeze frame on this scene and verify just what exactly is the radio
gear shown. 

 Maybe others here in the group have seen this scene too and have a
better take on what was shown in the gondola.

Is there any documentation- or even a credible story-
of an "official" installation of the 
GP-x series transmitters with the RAX receivers?
I have no doubt that it was done at some time;
the boys used whatever they could get and cobbled-together
all kinds of interesting "sets-" but is there a credible case for this
set?
I'm a "completeist" collector: one who seeks to  
find every piece for a particular installation.
After I get my shop built, I'm be forced to make some 
decisions about what sets to build and what to sacrifice to 
space and time considerations.  
I'd like to use the RAXs and the GP-7.  If there's an "honest"
configuration, I could build one set instead of two.
Don't want to duplicate the GP/RU because the RU is already part
of the GF/RU set.  The RAXs are "kosher" with the ART-13,
but I've already got an ATC in my AN/ARC-8.

I'm seeking a "D" range tuning unit for the GP-x transmitters.
I'd even settle for a TDE version for now.

Thanks.
