Best guess if US is CU-25/ART-13 (200-600 KC).  200-600 KC.  Transmitter 
connector is much smaller than antenna one.

Of the other US liaison transmitters, GO doesn't have an external loading 
unit, one for GP is smaller than an ARA receiver, CU-26 is about the size of 
an ARA, and SCR-183/283 uses BC-306, not even vaguely cube shaped.  There 
was a Canadian set arranged similarly to the GO (three side by side units) but 
I can't recall the nomenclature and don't recall whether it had an external 
MF loading unit.
