Please help me identify this piece of equipment. It looks military spec, but don't know anything about it.
I want to look up some history about what it was used for.

$\begingroup$ The plate could be anywhere: top, sides, or back. We cannot tell you where it is $\endgroup$ – Mike Waters♦ Dec 10 '19 at 20:21

$\begingroup$ I've edited your question to embed the images — this is because questions should (ideally) be meaningful without needing to follow links to other sites, which could change or break and are not as quick to read. $\endgroup$ – Kevin Reid AG6YO♦ Dec 11 '19 at 3:58

The construction does not look appropriate for military service. Coast guard, Civil Aviation, emergency services or industry looks more likely. Photographs of the interior may yield more clues. A fixed squelch control may be a clue this was designed for VHF or UHF. It was not common to totally enclose radio equipment without ventilation so this may only contain the remote control circuit.

$\begingroup$ I'm inclined to agree, except this is painted OD (olive drab). $\endgroup$ – Mike Waters♦ Dec 10 '19 at 20:22
