The AM 66 A has the same size and look
as the AN/GRC-9 and utilizes three (3) 2E22 valves in parallel to boost the
output to approximately 90 Watts. There is also a mains supply available for the AM-66 the BA-224A

Special power supplies
The PE-162 is a gasoline driven generator which supplies 150 watts at d-c voltages of 6.2 and 500 volt directly to the AN/GRC-9 without the use of a DY-88/GRC-9.
For more info technical manual TM 11-971.
There is also a German version of this generator the Eisenman BGTA 150/6-500 C1 which is more compact and uses a Sachs engine. The French version looks like the US, but has a much weaker frame.

To make a soldiers live more easy the German Bundeswehr used a special frame to mount the GN-58(*) to convert the generator into a home trainer.
