[Milsurplus] National RAO-7 retagged as NRAO

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Best guess is that it was bought for a “non military” government application. It could have been any of a number of outfits. Non Navy order = no Navy acceptance tag.

Again, only a guess.

A friend has what in all intendant purposes is a Navy RAO-7 receiver ..but the Navy Data plate identifying it as a RAO-7 has been replaced by a smaller National Co. (NC) data plate ,about 2/3rds the size, that calls it out as a "Communications Receiver"  Type: NRAO , Order # 110-NSF and a date of 10-4-44.
