This less common Radio has been popular with amateur radio operators and collectors for it's compact size and simple circuitry. The MI-8751 was an RCA product being supplied to the Swedish Army as WWII began, and thereafter the MI-8751 was known as the Swedish Set.

Army Signal Corps that the existing low-power portable HF transmitter-receivers, based on1920's technology, would not be adequate for modern requirements. They commissioned a new set, the SCR-284, but it's development was lagging badly. It came to their attention, that RCA had a radio in production for the Swedish military that could serve as a stop gap. The RCA set was designated SCR-288, and orders were placed. The early SCR-288's were delivered with the MI-9751 Radio Receiver &Transmitter.

MI indicates an RCA Master Item number, an internal standard. Later deliveries included the cleaned up and ruggedized BC-474 receiver-transmitter. The Manual is available free online. No claim is made as to the functionality of this Radio in whole or part.
