[MRCA] SCR-284 PE-103

[Dennis DuVall]

Well, the option for "forward” operation would  be the hand cranked generator which is not all that quiet.  Lots of pictures of such operation on the Marauder’s web site.

As someone else mentioned, the PE-103 was a very hot surplus item in the late 40s through the 1950’s.  Worked off 6 vdc unlike most other surplus equivalents available the time.

There is no way I would want that thing in any forward position I was serving in - the noise would attract way too much attention at night ( I served with the 10th Mountain Division in the early 1990s).   Like I said, Hellen Keller could find you in the dark when that thing fired up.
