There were Higgins PTs but "Higgins boat" means landing craft.
I think the radio was the SCR-510 - there's a not extremely rare
little manual about the use of this radio in the LC.
I don't think any other HF radio than the TCS would have been
in the PTs. There kinda weren't any, except maybe the MO or
MAK, and those being xtal controlled weren't nearly as flexible.
BTW, i saw a photo of a radio on the beach at Tarawa (or was it
Iwo? ) and for the longest time, i puzzled over the dimensions,
trying to force-fit it into being a TBX or SCR-284. I finally figured
out it was an MAN fm radio.
