[Milsurplus] What was TRC-1 used for?

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I  think  I  still have the   trc 1   as  I recall it is  2  pieces maybe 
it  would really a bunch of   field phones...  I am  trying to remember...  
but   yes    it  was a link.  let me know if  you want  to part  with the 
antenna!

Somewhere along the line I picked up this cool yagi in a knock-down  
transit case called AS-20F, which according to the label is for the  
TRC-1.   I'm curious what the TRC-1 was used for, the one French  website 
that I found seems to lump it in with microwave relay systems, but  the 
TRC-1 (which consists of the R-19 receiver made by Hallicrafters and  the 
T-14 transmitter) operated on a single frequency in the 70-100 mc  
range.    There is a chart showing how to adjust the length of  the yagi 
elements over this range.   I don't have any docs or  cables but there 
are two type N connectors for feedlines, so maybe it ran  duplex?

I figure someone here can enlighten me a bit!
