Here's a picture of my old radio bench, including an AN/GRC-19, an
AN/VRC-10, an AN/PRC-70, and some modern civilian gear. An Astron RS-50M
12V 50A power supply provides 12 volt power, and a pair of Astron LSRM-35M
28V 35A power supplies operated in parallel provide 28 volt power. The 12V
supply is on top of the AN/GRC-19, and the 28V supplies are in a rack on
the left side of the bench. I've moved to a new house since this picture
was taken, and I don't have my radio bench(es) set up yet.

The AN/GRC-19 consists of an R-392 receiver and a T-195 transmitter. My set
has the newer T-195B transmitter, which has solid-state power supplies (the
older model has dynamotor supplies). My T-195B "only" draws about
32A at 28VDC, compared to the rated 42A of the older model.
Here are some more pictures:
Eventually, I'll transfer my main operating point into my new
S-448 communications shelter.
