[Milsurplus] Navy GS Transmitter info?

[Mike Morrow]

SHIPS-242A says that the GS transmitter is associated with receiver RAY.  The RAY is a 23 to 28 MHz radio control receiver.  A RAY-3 is mentioned on Mike Hanz's site with the 194r Gorgon 2A air-to-air missile.

I have a RAY-3.  IIRC, long ago G&G Surplus sold a lot of RAY-3 receivers.  They were made by Doolittle Radio.

There was no USN model GWY transmitter...apparently its USN designation is GS.

Not much to go on.

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.
