Gene and the Group,

I have one of these as well, came along with the duplexer.:

Thanks for the nomenclature, Dennis.  This should eliminate the CX-4656, 
and power two PRC-77's from a single source, including 117 VAC.  I'll 
retrieve this stuff from storage.  I should have at least on extra 
PRC-77 or equivalent, like a 628K1.

If you really want to play with field phones, I have a small collection, 
including an SB-22.  I never thought anyone cared.  :-(
