        "ET" is the prefix RCA (or more properly RMCA) used for some of it's
marine gear.  Mackay used the prefix "MRU" for their complete radio units.
Individual Mackay receivers and transmitters etc. had other  numerical
designations.
        As I remember a 'complete" RCA console had an "RU" number.  I never
worked for RCA so didn't get really intimately into their numbering system.
