[Milsurplus] If You Like IFF: One You Won't See Again Soon (SCR-53 5-A)

[gl4d21a at juno.com]

Mike:

I think that the WW2 IFF stuff was the victim of whatever "End Use Certificates" were called back then.  I remember IFF was held very close during the war, and it took a while for all the restrictions to dissipate, and then for the word to get out.  Like everything the government does, enforcement was uneven and erratic.

I sent this 12 hours ago and it disappeared.

Or if you (like me) prefer the link:

I think it would be much less frequent than every ten years
to see part of the SCR-535-A Mark II IFF set, like this BC-648-A
control box for the BC-647-A transponder.

The Mark III and IIIG IFF systems became WWII standard, using
the SCR-595-A (ABK) and SCR-695-A (ABF) sets.  Even components
of those common systems are fairly rarely encountered today
in surplus.
