U.S. MILITARY/GOVERNMENT
VINTAGE
COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT

Over the years I have either collected or at one time had some vintage military and government communications equipment. I thought I would put whatever information I could muster on the Web and hope it would be of some use to someone. This is another evolving Web page so please check back from time to time as you can expect it to change. If you have any additional information on the equipment I have listed I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

For information on how to decipher the model numbers on military gear please refer to the nomenclatures site of the Military Commo Equipment List supplied by Ft. Gordon.
