Technically, the set used on the Fleet boats was the SCR-624, not the 
SCR-522 (or SCR-542).  Those three sets are "wierd" in that the radio used with 
them has no nomenclature of its own.  Its four component parts have 
nomenclatures but the assembled set doesn't.  I can't think of another example like 
that.
