Actually they were never deployed. There were some major issues with the design and by the time things were fixed the army had committed to the British amplifier #2. Back in Canada there was no use for them either so they were sold off surplus post war.

There is one anomaly though. A Canadian war artist during the Korean conflict had painted a picture and in the background it appears to be the RF portion of the set. Nothing in the RCSigs history shows them being used over there but never say never.

Personally I think they're uber cool and having one in the back of your truck showcases a bit of Canadian technology.

Mine had no issues in putting it on the air. I ran it from 110V and no parts needed replacing.
