[Milsurplus] GO-9, AT-12, and such

[Hue Miller]

Interesting, I think, that Canada chose to equip
their PBYs with a plate modulated, high power
analog to the GO transmitter - the AT-12 built
by RCA Canada. How much was perceived 
operational requirement and how much was a 
bone thrown to the domestic electronics industry?

Interesting also as Michael suggests some 
users going to the latest equipement while 
others retaining the old gear. Such as some
PBYs being upgraded to ART-13/ BC-348
while others retained the GO-9 / RU. 
Also, as for some older gear making it all
the way to the end of the war, looking at
Monogram's books "Japanese Cockpit
Interiors", in several of the captured planes,
flown toward the end of the war for study,
one sees SCR-183 radios installed. 
(Somewhat unfortunately for anyone hoping
to learn more about Japanese communications. )
