Military Wireless in the Midlands Museum .... NEW PICTURES
A spate of manpacks recently.
US made PRC-74, 15W ssb/cw, 2 to 18MHz.
A Begium made BRD-510C, am,cw,ssb, 10W, 2 to 12MHz.
An East German made set, SEG15D, am,cw,ssb, 15W, 2 to 12MHz.
A rather odd WS58, plated as Canadian Signals Experiental Establishment. It has odd connectors for mic/phones and has a built-in calibrator.
My standard WS58 Mk1*, the normal version seen.
Close up of the id plate.
Close up of the calibrator part, knob first then the internal crystal and switch.
The shock mountings, on the side in this set.
The latest addition, the BC-654A US military hf set undergoing trials on the operatring bench.
A question: The Signal Generator Type 101/X6, odd unit, I think 500 Mhz region but notice odd National type dial ? much thicker than the standard HRO dial, but why would a British item have a US dial ?? anyone know ? is it original or a later addition ?
This rather unusual panel, has a switch for AM/CW and ht On/Off, a Bathtub Morse key is fitted and behind there are a couple of buzzers. So, anyone know where its from ?
This unknown set has now been identified, mainly by looking at the makers plate on the rear of the set (don't I feel stupid !!) as an RME-70. Nice set, a bit of work still to do on it but getting there slowly.
Still need info here though. This is a set by Cossor, 3 xtal channels, miniature valves, single battery fitted from the bottom. So, anyone have any ideas ?
now, an odd little test set, two valve, battery operated, with lid closed a loop or similar went on top ? so, anyone have any info on this please.
