[Milsurplus] SC-901X questions

[Nick England]

Hue has the SC transceiver so the military “equivalent” is the RT-618/UR
info found in the URC-35 manual.

Speaking of which, if this thing was designed for the USAF, why the goofy
commercial model number and not an AN/xxx compliant designation????

Has anyone got a dated component or inspection stamp to help figure out the
chicken-egg history? I bet there is a good story here but I don’t know what
it is.

Yes sometimes the Navy will pay R&D costs on a project that has spinoffs or
versions for other services. USAF used a number of Navy-developed
equipments but I haven’t come across USAF to USN transfers. Army-Navy
sharing was not common (R-390A being a notable exception). And of course
USMC used lots of Army gear.

I sure wish someone had written a history of all this procurement.

Nick, puzzled as usual.
