[Milsurplus] ? on Navy TCH

[Jeff Quay]

Hi Hue,
Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder...but I personally think the TCH is one of the neatest transportable sets. Maybe because of their rarity, partly because it's Collins, but mostly because of their simplicity and pre-war technology. I'd recommend that you keep at least one, but two would help ensure you'd always have one operational.
My 2 cents, Jeff

Subject: [Milsurplus] ? on Navy TCH

Anyone out there has used the Navy TCH radio ?
I am debating selling my one or two. I have been debating this for years !
I never yet completed my machine - calculated program that delivers the
'figure of merit' K for keeping a radio.
The TCH is not common. It also does, for me, not have the "military look".
It has 1 IF only; poor tuning readout, and no spotting switch. ( I could
incorporate a spot switch without ruining the front panel by using one
position of the 'Receiver Crystal' switch. )  What do you think? "Rarity"
or "Collectible" does not equal "I should keep it". I don't think it would
be all that fun to use. Maybe. It does cover 80, 30, and 20 meters, but
the tuning is really fast up there.
