And yes you see TCS in the same 1960's radio room as URC-32 on subs and destroyers. So TCS was the last 
AM rig pretty much.

The URC-7 at least uses octal tubes in the transmitter section and has an all tube receiver with dynamotors; now understand that it was USCG only. The ones I saw were in that service. The URC-8 looks like the missing link. Somehow the TCS just stayed in service over a long period of time until the wide deployment of the SSB WRC-1
