I've been trying to ID this radio for a few years with no success. Does anyone here know anything about it?

Hi-

I did a search online for "SCR-695 UHF Radio" and found a listing that identifies that particular equipment under the heading of "AIRBORNE TRANSPONDERS". Since your equipment comes with it own purpose-made carrying bag, I would hypothesize that the unit may have been used from the ground to interrogate approaching aircraft to establish friend or foe....maybe with an antiaircraft or FAC unit. That is just a wild-a$$ guess, but perhaps it's a place to start..!!

 

Here's the link to the list I found:

You can find SCR-695 about 60% down the page.

 

Hope this is at least of some minimal help.

 

Respectfully,

 

Terry ("Bagman")
