Here a tough one. A few years ago I saw a photo of an X15 cockpit and this UHF communications receiver was mounted behind the pilot, on his left. Now I don't remember where I saw it; does anyone know where that photo can be found or know anything about this receiver?

Not much room behind the pilot.
