These
are the radios we have in our collection. We take
them to Military Displays and Veterans Events.
The
radio on the left is our GRC-9. It is connected
to a GN-58 hand-crank generator setup. This radio
was used in the Korean War.
Here
is the Gn-58 generator. Also our official U.S. Army
Signal Corps Mascot, Corporal Chewy. He goes to
shows with us.
This
is our BC-654 or SCR-284. It is complete and we
hope to test it later this year. We are trying to
get all of our equipment working. This is from 1944.
AN/GRR-5. Better know as the ANGRY-FIVE. It is Korean
War Vintage and is a Receiver only.
BC-1000
Walkie Talkie. This was the first Man-pack radio.
It was made by Philco in 1944. We got it from Italy
where it had been left after the end of WWII. It
was well used.
A
BC-611. This was considered the first Walkie Talkie
but was actually a Handy Talkie. We have 2 of these.
One was used as a movie prop from Republic Films
then MGM. It was in many WWII movies made between
1941 and 1945.
