Military Wireless in the Midlands
Virtual Museum dedicated to Military Radio....
(Le Musée véritable a dédié au Radio Militaire)
F Section
Lets start the tour of the museum with a selection of French sets.
This is the Thomson CSF TRC-300/4 transceiver, similar to the British PRC320 series,
this one though has an automatic atu section, move frequency more than 10 Khz and the atu resets.
New addition to the collection. This is the Thomson THC-471B hf transceiver, 3-16Mhz CW/SSB.
Sitting next to it is one of thr Banana type 50 Mhz wakli-taklies, similar to PRC-6.
Another French set, post war this time, units left to right, mod, tx, rx.
4 Chanel set, used by Police during the late 50's. (The rat by the way is called REG and is now a
famous rat having appeared in Practical Wireless)
The ER-504 (left) along with the ER-504D transmitter, same stable
but slightly different frequency coverage.
(left) Another set, again post war, the RS560 by CSF, 10 khz to 30 Mhz, in 1 Mhz bands, fully fitted, filters, all sorts of
fancy gadgets. Silver in colour.
(right) A war time set, the French S.A.D.I.R. R87 VHF receiver used for direction finding
and similar roles.
(left) Another war time set, the French equiv of the British T1154, the
Saram 310 tx. Aluminium construction, similar freq range to T1154.
(right) the matching Saram receiver.
Another Saram set, the 0-12 receiver. Plus, a recent addition, a complete 0-12 station,
transmitter, rx, generators and control boxes with cables, awaiting restoration.
(left) French made set, this time though used by The German Aircraft Industry, the ERT 281. HF, 100W AM/CW, very nice tx indeed.
(right) The ER-40A, French version of the British WS88, (though there is an earlier ER40) low band VHF.
A French field phone now, believed to be WW1 ? if anyone can shed
light on it I'd be most obliged.
Merci pour visiter. Bonne chance. Vous voir bientôt.
