FS-5000 SPY RADIO (Harpoon)
This is a "stay behind" radio with a crypto component to it. Nearly all of them are missing  the control unit with crypto (DSU). Such is the case for the example below.

For an excellent description of the FS-5000 and more photos, please visit the Cryptomuseum web page. The name of the complete system was SY-5000.
