Military Wireless in the Midlands Museum
Welcome to the
section !
Newest of the Australian sets here is the WS-208. Very similar to the 68 set, covers 2.5 to 3.5 MHz with maybe 500mW output CW only.
and here is the WS-108 Mk III, very similar, slight differences to aerial and mode switch items.
An Australian madeWS No101, working and operational on 80 mtrs, after a slight tweak, hi. This was a Antipodean copy of the British Wireless Set No 1, an example of which is in the Royal Signals Museum at Blandford.
This is the Wavemeter Class C used with the 101, its used to check frequency of both rx and tx, the compartment on the left holds the batteries, or in this example, a mains psu.
The Australian AR7 receiver, very similar to the American HRO, same type of dial and plug in coil packs. Used by the RAAF. This one is in need of restoration, wires have been cut, IFT's are hanging off and it has 60 years of grime inside it. Hopefully though, after hours of work, it should be a working set.
The Australian AR8 receiver, very similar to the British R1116A set, twin tuners, common IF stages. DF function on this set as well. Used in the RAAF planes, in conjunction with the AT5 transmitter.
The AT5 tx compared to the T1154 set.
Not quite Australian but in the same area, hi. The New Zealand version of the WS19 set, ZC1 Mk 1.
and the ZC1 Mk II. Very heavy, low powered but a nice set.
