[MRCA] RF-420S gandset

[W2HX]

Very interesting! There is a guy on ebay selling several of these. I was tempted to buy one just for the handset holder. I have a T-827D exciter with a telephone handset (like yours) and need a way to set the handset somewhere when not in use.

Hope the photos go through otherwise email me and I will send them to you. Still looking to ID the set. Perhaps the RF-302 2-15 MHz transceivers the Navy used on the PT-F's in Vietnam? 3X 6146W's and a 12BY7 driver, lousy tuners and often the BM's cooked the finals trying to tune the radio... I was too late for VN (1973) but many RM's I served with knew the URC 58's and were there.
May have been on Swift boats too in the Mekong Delta? Any old Navy Sparks out there remember? 73 Tom RMC ret.. K4NCG
