[MRCA] Gilbert helmet radio test set available

[B. Smith]

Wow that thing is neat.   Looks like another project to start using the

bicycle in mind and originally did not intend to use the plate mounted 
radio for anything else. But I can easily remove it from the bicycle and 
use it as a hand held.
