Tank wireless controversies

Quoting from "Working Instructions RCA 113923-1"... ..."The B-set is a VHF transceiver with a frequency range of about 229-241 Mcs. When switched to receive, it acts as a super-regenerative receiver, using a "quench" or interruption frequency of between 158 Kcs and 228 Kcs; when switched to send, it acts as an anode-modulated oscillator."

In the real world this interference range would be about 150yds with the B Set; on transmit the 400mW of the B Set didn't go a great deal father either according to users. Probably useful in the flat and spread out desert scenario but limited elsewhere. R. |

Wasn't one of the biggest problems with the 19 set at the time staying 'netted'? I do know from Blackburn that their range, especially in rough terrain, was somewhat less than advertised.
