[Milsurplus] NOMENCLATURE OF POLY SUPPORT TUBE FOR AB-652 ANTENNA BASE?

[Robert Downs]

Tim.

 

How long or tall is it?  The AB-652 replaced the MP-65-C, which used the same Mast Sections and which did not have an insulator around them.  I just browsed through some of the AN/GRC-106 manuals.  It used the AB-652 and MS-116-A, etc.  But no insulating sleeve is shown.  The RT-671/PRC-47 did use an insulating sleeve around the bottom few inches (at a guess, maybe 15”) of its whip antenna.  If the tube is short, maybe that’s what it’s for??

Hi Group

Wanting to find the Mil. designation of the poly support tube the fits over the AB-652 base and "MS-xxxA tubular sections. I have one, and some various MS-xxxA sections I would like to sell.

When I describe my "Lot" of antenna pieces, I want to be clear on the description.

Thanks a bunch.
