As with every other aspect of the entertainment industry, the government had a firm grip on radio stations, which led to censoring many of their programs. FWIW according to the Tarrant ORB , 116.1mhz was the guard freq worldwide in 1946(That was DSB-AM- Amplitude Modulation). I have one receiver with the dyno I run stock and the caps appear fine so I left them in. Does anyone know: were the radio crystals of WWII military planes kept in a secure place, and only inserted into the plane before a mission? Operating on the 475 - 525MHz band, two channels. One minor nitpick from the writeup F4F refers to a Wildcat, whereas a Hellcat uses the F6F designator. 48 0 obj Nice restoration. I just helped a friend get one working last week. To organize this mess and to make a more permanent functional display for the radio I built up a small external switch panel and drilled a hole pattern in it so it would simply bolt to the side of the radio using two of the existing machine screws on the case. It was used for by observation teams of the Sturmartillerie to communicate with artillery units. Reconnaissance units later in the war. It tuned the 40 meter ham band, and I spent many an evening with it. It drives me nuts to see someone take something that should be in a museum and butcher it. << /S /GoTo /D (subsubsection.4.4.3) >> The major difference between German Army tank sets and US Army tank sets was the American use of FM for the high-HF/low-VHF bands. 25 0 obj 49 0 obj First Responders Interoperable Radio System Team (FIRST) Trunking System Profile . Press J to jump to the feed. These things are built like tanks! Fug 19: A transceiver operating in the range 3 - 7.5 Mhz. Its very rare that resistors are all in tolerance (as here), but it could happen (German resistors are excellent in this regard). A radio user who intentionally transmits communications on unauthorized spectrum outside the limits of a normal channel frequency or band. 73 0 obj The Aztec "Death Whistle" served a variety of purposes from human sacrifice rituals to warfare. In modern low-voltage electronics the key metric to capacitor goodness is ESR. Drop me a note off line and I may be able to help with the scan. Most likely Im the odd person put on the topic. The date of manufacture was early-war, February 1942. 121.500 MHz. Chapter 10 discusses the principle of both pulsed and CW radar systems and radar parameters. Next I checked all of the resistors with my Fluke DVM. I used to have a transceiver built in the U.S. for use in Russian tanks, during WWII. I was bemused by these rules of engagement: 1. Some command and reconnaissance units had this infantry transceiver to allow then to talk to Panzergrenadier units.[2]. endobj I have a couple stock R-2x series receivers (navy version) and BC series (Army version). Modern direction finding of both communications and noncommunications signals covers a much wider range of frequencies. .15 Watt output AM voice and CW. Fortunately for me, and unlike solid state equipment, no damage was done. The museum ships often have fully operational radio rooms wherein folks make the old radio gear work again. Imagine the stories it could tell! 73, gary/NJ8BB. I have a Book Scanner that can do bound books. Those old caps still working is amazing, and a testament to just how terrible the knockoff electrolytic caps are. $79.99 The contract for this run was #74812 dated June 29, 1940, demonstrating the ramp-up in war materiel purchasing/production in advance of Pearl Harbor.

A life on the line - SOE radio operators in the Second World War. Army equipment was primitive, had a very short range, and often negotiated atmospheric interference. Unit must be made fully operational to original specification. The station was highly experimental and also highly classified. It operated in the 27,000 to 33,300kHz (27-33.3MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 20 Watts. I kept the flower pots to reverse the mod. (Tactical Information) ESR is Equivalent Series Resistance and NOT Electrostatic Resistance as you said. Frequency Meters provided a method of accurately measuring either a transmitted frequency or a received frequency of operating radio equipment. My unconventional restoration of this radio followed strict rules so as to minimize the evidence of repair both inside and out yet make this radio perform again as though it came fresh off the assembly line. U.S. amateur radio frequency bands and short comments about the frequency allocation models are presented in Picture 1. Mr Carlsons Lab has a great video on how to use one. This unit was also used by motorcycle troops in the first half of the war. << /S /GoTo /D (subsection.6.2) >> Generally speaking much lower than common use bands today. endobj I did have a BC-348 at one time, when I was in college and that was my receiver for the station I took to school paired with a home made CW transmitter using a 6L6 on 80 and 40 meters. There was a lot of noise coming through the speaker likely due to failed decoupling caps that would otherwise quiet the dynamotors hum. The BC-604 has a drawer with room for all the crystals for its frequency range. The station was commissioned on December 21, 1941, and grew to be one of the largest Naval radio stations in the world at that time (Allen, 1950: 226). A common infantry set. The b version was used by the infantry until they changed to the 'c' model radio in another band. endobj Found this today, while researching how to fix up my CCT-46192 (roughly like the AN/ARC-5 R23) that hasnt seen power since probably 1985. endobj It was usually used with a two-metre antenna. Im surprised. Used at the battalion to company level of the Panzergrenadier. 68 0 obj Occasionally the shorted Fu designation were used and there were exceptions to both these systems. Pomeroy and Company, Inc. On July 11th, 1940, a new bill was approved (Woodbury, 1946:140). (Hops \046 Skip Zones) The wireless was invented by Marconi in the late nineteenth century and the Navy was quick to make use of the new technology. From 1936 the German forces started deploying a range of communication links using UHF frequencies to form a point-to-point mesh communication network. << /S /GoTo /D (subsection.5.2) >> In particular they questioned how the wires would be brought to the top of the ridge from the Valley side. 4 LiamCH91 2 yr. ago Join the movement, there are many others who restore WW2 and other vintage gear to be original as possible. FuSpr.f: A mid-band HF transceiver. ( VoACAP's Parameters) I was one of the youngsters who got an ARC-5 receiver in the mid 50s. Panzergrenadier units. Ground-to-air range 60km AM voice to 80km CW. It was usually used for communication with a Fug 8 in the same installation. MUF: Maximum Usable Frequency MW: Medium-wave SW: Short-wave VoACAP: Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program 4.2 Overview Radio propagation is the mechanism by which the EM waves (also known as radio waves) are transmitted, or propagated, from a point on the earth to another directly or through various layers of the atmosphere. In 1936 the Lualualei Valley transmitter was activated (HABS, 1997:6). The BBC says its shortwave broadcasts will be available on frequencies of 15735 kHz from 4PM to 6PM and 5875 kHz from 10PM to midnight, Ukraine time. Macona: There is a Museum ships radio contest once per year, ships will operate CW and AM with the old gear and plug in a modern transceiver to operate SSB. It was deemed that the 600 foot tower at Lualualei was not powerful enough to send radio waves of the length necessary for communication in the Pacific. Range 10km AM voice to 40km CW. Look . of the 348) that my Dad used in the late 40s. (BBC Messages) << From the documentation I figured out what had to plug into the multi-pin connector on the back; +28 VDC, an external CW/AM toggle switch, RF gain control pot, 600 ohm speaker (I used an 8 ohm speaker and impedance matching transformer). Range 70km AM voice to 200km CW.
