[Milsurplus] U.S.N. MAK radio FS

[Hubert Miller]

I think more like amphib craft or landing craft and/or maybe harbor use. I think that has to do with the manual section on minimum antenna.
I saw this rig in an ad for Comco ( Florida ) saying that when the war was over, they would again be producing boat
and communications two-way radios. And i thought, no boat owner is going to pay for something built like the MAK or any other Comco government contract.
I think Comco also built the MAB; i recall seeing it in a Comco ad also.

It reminds me of the old  two-way radio setups of the mid 1940s in police and fire vehicles, I think early rigs operated on HF and continued to for a few years after the war until low band FM took over. The connectors remind me of those used by Link on their two-way gear. It would fit well in an an admiral or general's staff car.
