Hi Dave,
You should talk to Warren Brader here in San Diego. He supplied his TBX
radios and other items -- that can be seen in the movie Wind Talkers. I'll
bet he would be delighted to hear from you. Here is his email address:
"warren brader" <braderw at cox.net>
He's a very interesting and good guy -- very knowledgeable on military
radio equipment.
