[Milsurplus] MILITARY AN/MRT-9 RADIO COMMUNIACTION SHEDTRANSMITTER RECIVER SHELTER HAM RADIO

[Ray Fantini]

Somewhat like the AN/GRC-26 shelter with its diversity dual R-390 receivers, TU, teletype units and T-368 transmitter, and recall there was a larger version of this that was in three shelters, the one shelter with two T-368 transmitters, a shelter with at least four R-390 receivers and two TU and a third shelter that was a message center with teletype printers and reperferators and maybe security equipment and wondering if this shelter on EBay is part of that system? Thought the MRR stuff had at least three transmitters in one shelter and a receiver shelter with a flock of R-390 stuffed in it. But from what I recall all the transmitter shelter only had one R-390 and no TU or TTY equipment? Perhaps the thing on EBay is a construct that someone built? When was the last GRC-26 systems fielded by the Army? I saw them in use in the seventies in National Guard units but would assume most were replaced by GRC-122 units being they were smaller, carried sideband and modern security equipment. Not cretin but thinks all security for the old 26 rat circuits was done before transmission and after reception or perhaps the old KW-7 ? Looks like 10 K may be a bit much for that shelter; two or three years ago can see that happening but not today. I am not to far away over in Md, but would only go 5 or 6 myself that is if I wanted to run mutable rat circuits. Maybe he can get more just selling the transmitters separately?

I don't think that it is worth that much. First, we don't know what kind of
shape those transmitters are. Second, trucking that beast will be expensive.
I think that $5k would be a fair price.

Any opinions?
