[Milsurplus] What was TRC-1 used for?

[Al Klase]

Hi Bob,

TRC-1 was the first of the "Antrac" radio relay sets.  Some of the later 
sets moved up to microwaves.

Interesting bit starting on p93 here regarding AN/TRC-1's during the 
Normandy invasion:

It was a duplex system, but I don't have any details.
