The SCR-536 is often considered the first of modern hand-held, self-contained, "handie talkie" transceivers (two-way radios). It was developed in 1940 by a team led by Don Mitchell, chief engineer for Galvin Manufacturing (now Motorola Solutions) and was the first true hand-held unit to see widespread use. [1]

The SCR-694 is a portable high frequency two way radio set that was used by the U.S. military during World War II.The SCR-694 provides transmission and reception of AM radiotelephony and MCW or CW radiotelegraphy within the frequency range of 3.800 to 6.500 MHz.
The war also prompted a shortage of radio repairmen, as virtually all of them were needed in the services to maintain vital radio and radar equipment. This meant it was very difficult for the average citizen to get a radio repaired, and with very few new sets available, there was a desperate need to overcome the problem. [4]
Along with other mobile FM tank and artillery radios such as the SCR-508 (20.0 to 27.9 MHz) and the SCR-608 (27.0 to 38.9 MHz), the SCR-300 marked the beginning of the transition of combat-net radio from low-HF (high frequency) AM/CW (amplitude modulated/ continuous wave) to low-VHF (very high frequency) FM.
The term SCR was part of a nomenclature system developed for the U.S. Signal Corps, used at least as far back as World War I.Three-letter designators beginning with "SC" were used to denote complete systems, while one and two-letter designators (such as "BC", for basic component, "FT" for mounting, etc.) were used for components.
