[Milsurplus] Bomac JAN-CBNQ 6322

[J. Forster]

Almost certainly, a T/R switch used to protect the mixer diodes in a RADAR
from the 'big bang' transmit pulse. They are generally gas filled and may
contain a small radioactive source to stabilize the firing point and/or a
keep-alive electrode.

Best,
