Just to add another data point to this discussion: On your commander's property book, all the RT-1523's (from all your various types of radio sets) will be listed in one place, under their own LIN and NSN. Then you'll see the radio sets themselves listed separately, with a unique LIN and NSN for each type (VRC-87/88/89/90/91/92 and PRC-119, etc). If you dig deeper, I believe you'll find that the RT's are not technically part of the COEI / BII of any radio sets -- even though you need the RT for the radio set to be functional.
From the point of view of conducting sensitive item inventories, the Army has decided that the RT's AND the VRC's / PRC's must be inventoried. However, the only part of a VRC/PRC that's "sensitive" is the RT, so in every unit I've ever been in or heard of, all you inventory is the RT.
And "roger all" on the PT uniform thing.
Thanks for writing in with the question, and thanks again for the assist SGTDGUN.
