So, I assumed possibly late in Korea and shortly after.
I also read Bruce's comments on trialing C42's vs the RT66 series of radios.

Yes, your honour I understand the charges. The internet told me it was OK.
Anything is possible, but not necessarily true. My Goofle search says it was a common NATO radio starting after the 1950s. It is possible the radio was trialed, but that is different than putting into service. Perhaps there was a need to use its particular frequency band to talk to the other nations? Dunno.
