[Milsurplus] SIGNAL CORPS INDICATOR UNIT I-152-AM

[J Forster]

Yes and NO.

The APN-1 and Navy versions are FM CW radar altimeters (two and one
altitude ranges respectively)

The SCR-718 are Pulse altimeters.

They serve roughly the same function (measuring altitude above terrain)
and use roughly the same frequencies (400 to 500 MHz) but are otherwise
totally different.

Best,
-John
