Because it's a move in the direction of smaller and more compact.   No leg 
sockets on it either as far as can be seen from the Bay photos.   My suspicion 
was that Philco may have been given a contract to see what they could do to 
squeeze down the 284 while, at the same time, Ruland was put to work on a new 
configuration which won out and became the 1306 followed the GRC-9.

Understand you bought the box so a look inside should offer clues as to 
whether it's pre or post the common form of SCR-284.   Please give us all a report 
on what you fine inside.
