[Milsurplus] what is it? - Signal Corps 1700-2800 kc

[mac]

Essentially a Hallicrafters HT-12.  Intended for use on harbor and  
coastal vessels as well  as land stations.  Handset usually mounted on  
the side of the cabinet rather than on the front as seen in the  
picture.  Four channel xtal controlled transmitter.  Receiver could be  
either crystal controlled or continuously tuned manually (see crystal/ 
manual switch on the front panel).  Individual  transmit/receive  
crystal pairs mounted in a single large holder similar the the ones  
used in the TCS.  Nice little 160M rig.

The BC-669 followed with an extended frequency range but much larger,  
heavier and more complex.
