Does anyone out there have any familiarity with the subject radio?
It is a 4-channel crystal-controlled UHF transceiver about the size of a command set receiver; each channel has its own RF chain with a common AF/Audio/modulator chassis. Probably 2-3 W output power.
They managed to pack 37 miniature and subminiature tubes in this thing with no forced convection cooling. The only reference I could find states it was used in the H-13 (Bell 47).
It was built for the USN by Telephonics,1953 contract date, has a solid-state dynamotor (Again, command receiver type mounting), most certainly an upgrade later in its life.
Any information or anecdotes welcome!
