My 1952m38A1 has a radio installed in it. It has the following info on it. REC-TRANS-RT-671GRC serial #800452. The power supply has app-112/GR serial #26230 on it. I have done a few searches and not found a manual for this specific radio. Can someone help me identify it and point me to the right manual. Thanks, Mike McMahan
Thanks for the replies. Still trying to learn about this stuff. Wes you were right. It is 67/. Guess I really have the wrong radio in it. The Jeep is marked with Texas National Guard 36th Infantry 143-3. If I understand the chart it should have a 68/ for Infantry. Can someone tell me if any of the frequencies in the 67/ are used for anything today. Looks like the 68/ still works on the ham frequencies. Thanks again. Mike
The RT-67 and RT-68 look identical, aside from the frequency readout in the viewing window.
The frequencies in the -67 and not used very much and for all practical purposes, you won't hear anything on it. I am a fan of running audio from your smartphone or modern radio to a speaker. That way, you can simulate radio traffic for displays and not have to get the old radio up and running. _________________ 1952 M38A1 SOLD
Looking for another complete M38A1
Yes. Period correct music coming from the low-fi speaker really sets off a display. edit in clips of seoal city sue and it is like you are standing beside a time machine. _________________ '52 Dodge M37, '42 GPW, '48 FrankenJeep CJ2A/M38, '50 CJV-35(U), '51 M38, '42 WC-57 Command Car, '44 WC-51 Weapons , (2) M1941 Sperry 60" Anti-Aircraft Searchlights, John Deere M-gator, '44 White M3A1 Scout Car
RT-67/GRC is associated with Artillery frequencies of the period,
The pair of units you have would be a "Radio Set AN/VRC-9" provided you have the mount MT-299/GR, control box C-375/VRC and the antenna components (I have the numbers if you care). _________________ '52 Dodge M37, '42 GPW, '48 FrankenJeep CJ2A/M38, '50 CJV-35(U), '51 M38, '42 WC-57 Command Car, '44 WC-51 Weapons , (2) M1941 Sperry 60" Anti-Aircraft Searchlights, John Deere M-gator, '44 White M3A1 Scout Car
