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

[Pmalvasi at aol.com]

I had one of these sets some 10 plus years ago but it didn't have Canadian  
markings - only classic RCA Marine markings.  I was told there were a  number 
of these assigned to MARS hams.  In the early days of MARS -  (perhaps even now 
??) they used to give people R390's and other surplus radio  gear.  I picked 
the RCA set from the estate of someone who also had some  other MARS 
equipment.  I forget what I did with the set but it was well  before Ebay and the 
newsgroups.  I think I sold it either at the old  Heightstown meet or Tranquility 
or Schooleys...  It is a rack mount unit as  I recall like a Globe King - but 
Im not sure it had 3 sections or just 2  (transmitter/receiver/power or 
transmitter-power on one chassis, receiver the  other).
