Re: Mk128 Radio Value?
Looking through the EMER F710 (dated 20 Feb 67) for the MK128B it has the following:
"ROLE:
The equipment is a portable H.F. radio station for use in airborne operations by the SAS".
For part numbers it lists:
Transmitter, radio, DWS, type 128B-50 5820-99-105-3683
Receiver, radio, DWS, type 128B-40 5820-99-105-3681
Could DWS refer to Diplomatic Wireless Service?
It wouldn't be the first time the military adopted a set. A good example is the U.S. RS-1 set made for the CIA. It was used by the army who called it the GRC-109
