How about a salvaged ARB from a Navy aircraft crash site?

We could say "impossible". 24 volts and control box cabling and a local
control tuner would be tuff to come up with in the jungle.  Never thought
about this particular issue before, but likely no gyrenes listened to 
Tokyo Rose unless stationed at some permanent base where they had
access to communications receivers.  -Hue Miller
