What was the model number of Collins radios used on PT's? My Dad said PT 223 had a Collins radio.

Is this the same model radio used on PT boats? This picture was taken on the USS Batfish on display in Oklahoma.

I have never seen this type of Radio in a PT BOAT. Most if all had the TCS System because of the light-weight and durability. I have learned however to never say never, so who knows if one of these might have been in some patrol boat somewhere, although I doubt this radio was in any American PT BOAT.

Hi Russ,
Here is a picture of the radios on PT631, they are Collins TCS-11 or -12 just like Frank said. I found the model numbers of the individual components as follows: Transmitter = COL 52245 Reciever = COL 46159 Remote Control Unit = COL 23270 and Antenna Loading Coil = COL 47205 I hope this is helpful. Jerry
