[Milsurplus] Loran Converter

[J. Forster]

The same applies to the SCR-522. It was basically a rebadged TR 1143 (I
may have that number wrong)

To me, it seems possible the SCR-522 and LORAN receivers may have used
British connectors to reuse cables already installed in the UK aircraft.

The US made a LOT of them. I think most of the WS 19s never left the
crates or the USA.

In fact, the WS 19 Mk IIs were significantly inferior to the Canadian &
British Mk IIIs.

I thought of something else the uses the Pye. The BC-906-C and BC-906-D.
The reason for that is a real puzzler.

My best guess is there was some portable antenna used for flightline
testing of IFF and/or Rebecca-Eureka systems that had a Pye connector.
