Two popular units used by the Code Talkers were the MF/HF TBX and the VHF TBY.

       I did some online (Google) research on Code Talker radios for a presentation I assembled on mil rads in general.  One thing I gleaned is that the Navaho were one of several indigenous peoples who were employed by the US Government as “Code Talkers” during WW II.  I read that, in addition to the Navaho, the Comanche, Choctaw, Cherokee and Lakota nations provided Code Talkers for the war effort.  In addition, Code Talkers had been used in WW I for the same purpose – obfuscation of military radio traffic.  



       I also read that Code Talkers were used sparingly in ETO because the Third Rike (deliberate misspelling) had sent “linguists” to the US West to study indigenous peoples’ native languages.  The US War Department, knowing of these linguists’ presence on US soil, decided it would be unwise to use these languages in ETO.  PTO, however, was open game for deployment of the Code Talkers.



       Good luck with your research.
