[NJARC] RCA's SSB Mk IV transceiver, c. 1955

[Joe Cro]

Alex,
       I'd love to see the photos of it. Unfortunately, I don't have any 
technical info on it, but was surprises me is that it's Canadian and doesn't 
have anything to do with the Canadian Marconi Co. Being RCA, I would think 
it would be devoid of all association with the aforementioned company, but 
maybe not.

If you have any pics to forward, my email address is: n3ibx at verizon.net.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
                                                                Joe Cro
