Thank you both for the information. I have had the the antenna mounted to the M38 since restoration, but never acquired any military radios.
I don't know but I would imagine the transceiver had an internal tuner, or there was a external tuner and or a balun used with the antenna.
I was thinking about mounting my Yaesu FT857D HF multi band transceiver in the jeep. But I'll probably install the multi band screw driver antenna ATAS-120A _________________ Tropical Veteran

Ken,
With you being a ham, the RT-68 will work on the 6 meter band (50 Mhz... also is wideband FM 20Khz as opposed to 3Khz as used today)
You then use a combination of mast sections to get to the proper length.
That is the setup I have in my M-38, but my problem is I get the radio working on the bench fine, put it in the jeep and the transmitter goes out... something loose I have not been able to find...
Hope this helps... _________________ Hal, KB1ZQ
