[Milsurplus] TBX info...correction in red

[Hubert Miller]

SPF was certainly not a smokejumper radio. Model SJ WAS a smokejumper radio. Smokejumper portables were the 33-MHz small voice radios
TBX not at all derived from USFS radios; the TBX did CW and AM with VFO or crystal positions, and with more power than any portable Forest Service radio.
Forest Service radios, the HF models i am aware of, were single channel transmit, crystal controlled. I see no evidence whatsoever the U.S.N. adopted anything
like the SP or SPF.  A similar radio, the ATR-4, was developed in Australia, and widely used by its mobile forces and also by U.S. teams in the occupied Philippines.
I can footnote every statement i've made here.
