[MRCA] TCM Transmitter - Marine Corps' BC-610?

[Mkdorney]

Have you seen pictures of the TCM-1 and TCM-2 radios? Those big honking sets don’t look all that portable to me.   My guess would be  on board ship or at permanent shore installations.

I suspect at least some of them may have been used for transportable field/ground use, perhaps with the RBM receiver, similar to the Army Signal Corps SCR-299/399 BC-610 and BC-312s or the earlier SCR 287 with the BC-191 and BC-312.  My suspicion is based on there being a remote generator start switch on the TCM's separate AC power supply, which is as big as the transmitter itself. Were the TCMs also used in shipboard applications?
