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!

 

Regards,
