[MRCA] More collection liquidation. USQ-46

[Dennis]

More collection liquidation:

USQ-46, Anti-intrustion detection system. The following components were part of a the high tech system used along the "Mcnamara Line" in Vietnam to detect troop & supply movements down the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
R-1617A/USQ-46, programmable VHF/FM back-pack receiver(approx 130-200mc 
at least). Monitors up to 70 or so sensors at one time. Can also be used 
as a standard communications scanner. Uses PRC-25/77 type battery(12vdc), 
and audio accessories. 
TS-2963/USQ-46, Companion test set to above receiver. Same size and 
appearance. A very elaborate synthesized signal generator that test all 
operational parameters of the system pryer to, or while in, the field. 
w/PP-6446 power supply that clips on to the bottom of the unit in place 
of the battery box. 
Torpedo shaped, aircraft deployed, seismic/acoustic sensor w/auto deploy 
steal tape ground plain antenna, also uses PRC-25/77 type battery. 
This was the most high tech gizmo to be used along the "Mcnamara Line" 
in Vietnam. In operation the sensor was thrown from an aircraft either 
with, or without a parachute. If with a chute, it was suspended from tree 
tops by the parachute cords. If without a chute, was fitted with a spike 
that partially buried the sensor in the ground. In both cases, a steel 
tape type ground plain antenna automatically deployed from the top of the 
unit. When triggered, alarm & audio signals were transmitted back to the 
receiver where it's operators could listen in on the surrounding 
activity. 

Take it all, $500 or trade for HF/SSB transceivers.
