Last November, I was watching a Kennedy documentary that featured a behind the scenes look using a few re-enactments mixed with real footage showing how the news networks covered Kennedy’s death. They also mentioned and showed the use of a 1951 RCA backpack broadcast unit that was described as weighing about 53 pounds, including batteries along with antennas for transmitting picture signals and receiving orders from a base station extending from the top of the pack. It had a range of about one mile. See a picture of the unit at the link below. If any news veterans used or have any knowledge of these units, please share your experiences. Thanks
