Hello Drake-friends!
I was recently informed about that there was a Drake AN/RT-88-GRC transceiver!! This is a Drake TR5 transceiver and PS7 power supply in the same cabinet, and it's army green.
The complete set is in a wooden box which is labeled "AN/RT-88-GRC HF Communications Transceiver". And the set consists of:
 | AN/RT-88-GRC transceiver with power |
| Vertical antennea with tuner |
| Control box for antenna tuner |
| Coax and antenna tuner cable |
| Manual |
I don't know much about this set. My source bought 4 sets from a fellow that had a Pawn shop. A guy loaned some money on them, but the radios were never picked up. The Pawn shop was closed and the set were stored in a garage 12 years ago.
These might be the one's sold out of Miami to a South American group after some repacking.
That's all I know. Do any of you know anything more about the set????
Pictures will be added to the Drake Virtual Museum later. I was offered 2 sets, and I bought them both of course.
But you may already now take a look at a couple of pictures of the green TR5 set on my web-site:
