[Milsurplus] AN/MRC-20 et al

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Or maybe it turned into such a mess that they turned in their towels as 
new gear must have been turning up by then.And what we have for docs is 
what we will have.I'm sure there must have been a transition period 
when old stuff,modified or not, was getting tossed into the truck and 
new gear fitted.I've had numerous pieces of gear pass through this QTH 
with a significantly crushed corner to validate the "tossing into the 
truck" mode of mil retrofitting.

 Happy New Year everyone!

Or perhaps it is possible that:

(1)  A BC-348-Q modified for the AN/MRC-20 was tagged as R-584/MRC-20, 
and
(2)  A BC-348-R modified for the AN/MRC-20 was tagged as R-589/MRC-20.

There are serious differences between the Q and R models that this 
would be
logical and necessary.  The original nomenclature of the base receivers 
had the
Q or R to distinguish them.  That important distinction would be lost 
if both of
the AN/MRC-20 modified units had the exact same JAN nomenclature.

It would be interesting to find out for sure.  Maybe everyone's been a 
little
right and a little wrong.
