A exciting opportunity to resurrect a part of military history into a useable Ham radio portable station.

The complete set of 4 units weighs less than 16 pounds. As a classic Black Radio, this long range HF CW morse code set was used by the CIA, partisans, Special Forces, Recon units and the U. Anecdotal evidence has them being used in Southeast Asia, Europe and Central America; they were probably used everywhere.

It is a super-het with a 455 Kc IF and it incorporates an interesting two-band tuning mechanism/spiral frequency dial. The RT-6 transmitter (serial #3031) tunes 3-16.5 MC in two bands with up to 10 watts output.
