Lets start the tour of the museum with a few sets from outside of the UK. I have sets from various countries and am always interested in acquiring new examples at any time.
A European set now, this time a Belgium made special forces set, the RST-101. Very small but works very well indeed for such a simple design.
A Chinese set now, the 129B receiver, transistorised, made late 60's, as used by the VC apparently. Nice little set, runs of D cells, obviously plentyful in the jungle then ! The rx formed part of the Type 81 backpack set shown next to it
Another chinese set, the Type 73, hf manpack, as used in Nam apparently. Verynice litte set, used it this morning on AM, about 1.5 to 2Watt, and worked North Wales (long wire antenna). The set has a most unusual whip, it has a taped centre loaded coil and a fold up capacity hat. Most interesting.
Yet another Chinese set, the 884 VHF manpack, very compact, came with all the bits.
nd yet another Chinese set, the Type 102. This uses the 139 receiver, the vlalve version of the 139B above. Tx is about 8w AM, 15w CW.
Transceiver type 889, Chinese VHF set, vehicle mounted.
The Finnish VREH hf tx/rx, war time set, power supply, batteries and rotary, are housed in a similar sized box. Send an e-mail to: Ben Nock, G4BXD ********* Pictures by G4BXD are G4BXD copyright ********
Another Scandinavian set, the Finnish LV661 Special Forces set, 3 to 5 Mhz, 1 watt on tx.
The Canadian CPRC-26 VHF transciever, later day version of the WS88
basically, very nice construction inside though.
