This interconnecting box (modem) allows a teletype (TTY) to be connected to the GRC-206 system. Since the system is typically used with two operators (Air Force and Army) there is provision to connect the TTY to either side of the system.
I've heard that this was used in the GRC-122 and GRC-142 HF radio TTY shelters. Now the question is was it really used in the GRC-206?
The unit arrived in a cardboard box with more than one seam ripped open and a USPS tape talking about missing contents. There was no bubble wrap or other packing material.
This resulted in damage. The obvious damage is to the banana jacks for the TTY and one of the switches does not turn and some of the fuses are loose. There's probably hidden damage. This is a real shame since this is not a common item.
