Hello to the group

Does anyone out there have any information on
mounting of the BC 610 in a jeep. I have seen a wartime photo showing the
610 mounted in a jeep but am not sure what receiver they ran with it(I
guess the BC 342) . Was the JB 70 control box used or was some custom made
control box used?? Was a PE-95 generator used or the smaller PE 75. I hope
there is someone out there who might have some information on this radio
set up. I believe this modified version of the SCR 399 was for Airborne
use in the Pacific , as the photo I saw had palmtrees in the background.
The British had a similar set up in WW2 in a US jeep using the WS 53 xmtr ,
which is as big as the BC 610. They where slated for use in the Pacific as
larger wireless trucks so equiped could not negotiate the jungle roads as
well as the smaller jeep.

Thanks for the help
