Radio Geneology

[Bruce MacMillan]

That's a tall order, I've never seen a complete list. You are looking at a time span of many decades with many changes in technology and government selection processes.

Pre WW2 the use of commercial off-the-shelf sets were common. Mostly point to point made by Marconi, Westinghouse, National Radio, etc.

We're probably most familiar with the wireless sets of WW2. A booklet for Clive on their uses is in finishing stage. The use of equipment not on the WE is also documented. 1st Div used some Royal Navy sets and the US SCR299 radio truck.

Post war saw the shift to US equipment. Peacekeeping missions had to have equipment compatible to other countries, especially were crypto was used.

The CP34 is a nice little green set but I don't think it was made in any great numbers. There was also a 4 channel version called the CP24. I have a Spilsbury & Tindall SBX11 marked DREO (Defense Research Establishment Ottawa). I guess they had a budget to try out new toys.

It would be an interesting exercise but would require much input from many sources.
