[Milsurplus] What Is It ??

[Jim Haynes]

I'm not very familiar with those things, but believe it was an RCA
line of radio equipment suitable for private planes, but very likely
used by the military too in the emergency.  Way back then the typical
small plane, if it had a radio at all, had a receiver for the 200-400 KHz
navigation aids and a transmitter on a single HF frequency, 3105 for
civilian and 4495 for military.  The pilot could call a flight service
station on that frequency and receive the reply on a 200-400 KHz
navaid connected with the station.
