As noted, the description said it was for the RDF. The pilot and the navigator both had a tuning control box, the flex cable from the pilot went to a 'T' where the navigators tuing cable also met, and then a third cable went to the RDF. Tuning on either one made the tuning knob and dial turn on the opposite control. Depending on where they put the RDF, the navigator and cable from the T to the RDF would be the shortest and from some B17 pix, the T and RDF were near the navigator position with the T nearer the navigator and thus the shortest cable. The B24 had the RDF a bit further away I think. And, they are bigger attachment ends than what is on the comm gear.
