[Milsurplus] Navy GS Transmitter info?

[Rob Flory]

Anyone have any more info than what I dug up?

I quote:

Rob,

There is an I. D. Plate on the outer chassis housing (cabinet) that
references a Navy Type GS-3.  I am still unable to find documentation other
than the reference to “Class 43”, the tx and rx. Can you recommend a web
site that would have a schematic and other info?
My apologies for continuing to bother you!

Since it has a civilian name plate, rather than a Navy one, the GWY is
probably not Navy nomenclature.  There were other civilian units drafted
into military service and given Navy nomenclature eventually, like the
WE-233 VHF transceiver later known as AN/ARC-4.

I found some information that linked this to Navy Model GS

From:
"CDF-52136 GS RADIO TRANSMITTER 23 TO 28 MC, CRYSTAL CONTROL, 20 WATTS
OUTPUT FOR OPERATION ON MCWCA2) AND PHONE.(A3). WEICHT 20 LBS. "

That seems to fit.  CDF is a contractor code for Doolittle.

Some other stuff  I found linked this to telemetry.  That frequency range
is outside what was typically used for aircraft communications.
