[Milsurplus] IFF unit?

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

SCR stands for Set, Complete, Radio.  RC for Radio Component.  BC for Basic 
Component.  There were of course case of mis-application (as there were in 
the AN system) but generally RC was assigned to groups of items that didn't 
make up a complete Radio Set and/or were used in several sets (either SCR or 
AN or both).  Most examples seem to have been either Antenna, 
Countermeasures, Interphone, or Remote Control systems.
