The
radio between the two men is a short-wave SE-402
(transmitter-receiver 402), formerly used in the Swiss
army. These devices have been sold by the Americans in
the post-war surplus under the name SCR-499/A. It is a
station built on the basis of amateur radio
Hallicrafters HT-4 and the tuning device AT-3, combined
with receivers "Signal Corps" and BC-342 BC-312. In
Switzerland the army station covered first the name SM46
and later SE 402.
