I recently received this large single-frequency transmitter
from an elderly gentleman who used to be a ham radio operator.


I have found only one technician who worked on similar equipment in the
1950s-60s

His guess is a WW2 vintage, standard VHF transmitter.... probably in the
aviation band which a Radio Amateur may have been able to convert to work on
the 2 metre HAM band.

The earth-bound counterpart to the BC-229?
