SCR-527
SCR-527 (abbr.: of Signal Corps Radio model 527) is operating in the VHF-band World-War-II Radar for ground controlled intercept (CGI). It used separate antennas for transmission and reception set up about 200 feet apart. The mobile radar set SCR-527A formed a complex that was transported on 7 trucks. The SCR-527 was delivered in the spring of 1943. The crew consisted of 8 men per shift.
