Thanks to a couple of friends, this little KAAR transmitter followed
me home
today. I seems to have been used by the US Coast Guard. The KAAR
brand
vibrator is dated 1943. It's has an original KAAR crystal for 2670 kc.

Here's a page with some photos of it;

Have you ever seen or know anything about this neat little xmitter?
It has it's original shock mount base, but it appears to have had at
one
time a cover. There are shadows on the sides of the chassis where a
cover
was and there are the remains to latches on the ends of the chassis.

Looks very typical of the design used for the early "doghouse"
FM transmitters made by Motrola and others. That crystal is in
the old marine radiotelephone range, isn't it?
