[Milsurplus] URC-35?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The AN/WRC-1 manual covers the T-827, AM-3007 and CU-937.  The R-1051 is 
covered in its own manual.  It was the first of the entire family to go into 
service.  The RT-618 is not part of AN/WRC-1 and is not covered by the WRC-1 
manual.

As far as never being used in a tactical environment is concerned, AN/WRC-1 
was installed in several FRAM-II DD's I served on in the early to mid 70's. 
 It replaced the TCS as the utility HF set.  Whether it was ever installed 
in new ships I don't know.  I transferred to the Mine Force in 1976.
