| H.F. Transceiver was a AN/MRC-95 by Collins Model Number 618T3, 718F-1 coffin, 313V-1 control head, 618T-3 radio, 426T-1 power inverter, 460D-1 load coil, 670D-1 tuning coil, 76F-3 speaker. The HF Antenna was 32 feet tall mounted with a rubber boot for protection to people passing by so that they would not receive RF Burns. This antenna reduced to 10 sections the width of the jeep. |
| UHF Transceiver was a AN/ARC-51BX, 718F-1 coffin, 313V-4 control head, ARC 164 or ARC 51BX radio, 76F-3 speaker. This antenna was shared with the VHF antenna. This antenna was just behind the passengers seat. This antenna was what is called a dual band antenna with VHF in the lower portion and UHF in the upper section. This antenna had separate RF feed lines. |
| VHF Transceiver was a Collins Model Number 618M, same coffin as UHF, 313V-3 control head, 76F-3 speaker. This radio shared the UHF antenna. This antenna was just behind the passengers seat. This antenna was what is called a dual band antenna with VHF in the lower portion and UHF in the upper section. This antenna had separate RF feed lines. |
| FM Transceiver was a AN/PRC-25 and a AM-2000 Power Amplifier (RT-254?) This radio had its own antenna about 15 foot long mounted on the left rear corner of the jeep looking from the front to rear. |
| Secure Voice System AN/KY-38 not found on the MRC-107's which were newer. |

| The Jeep was a M-151 Military (Ford Motors) Jeep and was modified for this gear including engine, generator, cooling system, and seating. This jeep was very tipsy and could roll over on a dime. You did not get in a hurry in it if you wanted to live! |
| The Trailer was used to carry our supplies below the Generator which was mounted sideways across the top of the trailer above the Axle for weight control. Spare fuel was found only on the tail end of the trailer, not on the jeep due to high RF fields. Generator Voltage was 115v, AC 400cps |
