This whole thread is a basically disgusting review of all that most here 
don't know about military radio sets.  

Maybe none of the sets mentioned are useful in your little games today.  
But a lot of people died using these sets so that you could play your games.  
The TBS was a key player in winning the Battle of the Atlantic.  The TBY, 
although perhaps not well loved by the Grunts who used it, was better at what 
it did than anything else available at the time.  The MAR gave valuable 
service during Korea as US military aviation was switching from VHF to UHF.

In my opinion, any civilian ham band only radio is at the top of any most 
useless list.  Especially those that only cover a single HF band.
