[MRCG] Cavalry Radios = The Other Cavalry

[Dennis DuVall]

Yes, that would be the SCR-511 (BC-745).  The shaft fit in the guidon socket on cavalry saddle stirrups.  The most portable radio the Army had for a while at the beginning of the War and probably used on the ground rather than on horseback most of the time.
