I had done a seach for "field phone" on Ebay, and I was about to
redirect my browser to another page when I noticed an ebay listing for
a ta-263/pt field phone. The listing says it comes with two linesman's
whistles, and has a picture of them.

Somebody, please make my day: tell me the frequencies of those
whistles. Ghod, please, let one of them be 2600. I'll laugh for a
whole day.
