> In comment to another comment, the SCR-245 wasn't an unpopular set in North 
  Africa and Italy.  Although the Signal people probably preferred the SCR-193, 
  indications are they'd rather have either one in preference to the SCR-506.

First, both '193 & '245 as mobile radios were real, real old-fashioned 
compared to '506.  However I don't think '506 leaked to field in time for 
7/42.

But Russ AE4NY ran a BC191 as hi-speed inter-airbase cw op. He had seen 
191s running mobile ('193) but had never seen a '245.  So it wasn't 
unpopular, it wasn't there. 

Russ moved on to Italy & his SCR-188 (w. BC-224 rather than BC-312!) got
sacked in favor of bread truck (SCR-299).  

I'll stick w. "probably & indications" that 245, as limited std., 
never left stateside radio schools...  even tho it had new-fangled 
xtal ctl along w. jurrassic park mcw buzzer ckt.
