They don't seem to have the same model now. It's a "folding"

antenna
with shock cord holding the elements together for travel- kind of

like
the poles for "dome tents". It was made for the PRC-25 and

PRC-77.


PRC-77? That is one radio I never want to see again. I did QA

on
them at Cincinnati Electronics. It was an early '60s design finally
being built in the late '70s with specially made runs of obsolete
Motorola RF transistors. We would order 10,000 parts and they would
ship 12,500 and tell use to test and use the best ones. It was a

real
PITA germanium front end to try to get through the module
interchangability tests.


Cincinnati Electronics?? A forerunner to Cincinnati Microwave??
