Also google "Wireless for the Warrior". I have Volume 2.
Gary I Managed to buy an 11 set about 12 years ago from Australia. I have only ever seen two British 11 sets. One is in the Signals museum at Blandford Camp. The other one was sold at War & Piece just after I bought mine and fetched £1000 at that time. Please keep me informed if you find one, so that we can swap notes.

Ron.

The American BC 221 was far superior in every aspect .. a top quality bit of gear .. The class C wave meters were a bit of junk in comparison, but would have been issued as part of the kit .

Eric:

Your second attached thumbnail is of an RT-246/VRC Receiver-Transmitter.

This is, as indicated on the nameplate, part of the AN/VRC-12 family of field tactical radios.

The RT-246 is the same size as the RT-524 and fits into the MT-1029 Tray, Mounting.

The RT-246 has an automatic turning system which is controlled by front panel push buttons, where the RT-524 does not. The RT-524 has a loudspeaker, the RT-246 does not.

The RT-246 was typically used in the AN/VRC-43, -44, -45 Radio Set configurations.

AFAIK, Canada did not use the RT-246.

Reference: ARMY TM 11-5820-401-12, Aug 1972.

Somewhere to discuss Wireless/Signals equipment on this site would be a great addition!

Just to clarify the discussion so far, is the intent a fully independent Forum, or simply an addition to this site, such as we now have for Sappers, Gunners? Stikes me that the latter approach would be a heck of a lot simpler for the powers that be to accomplish for us, and it definitely gets my vote!

Hi Mike.

Ever noticed that whenever one of these vehicular wireless sets (including the 19) are actually in use in a vehicle, there is only one person in the photo, but as soon as it is set up somewhere outside, it suddenly becomes a group photo. I wonder if there is a weight to manpower ratio yet to be discovered in some Sigs Pam somewhere???

We try to accomodate these sort of requests if possible, but first we need to figure out how to set this up, plus iron out a few other bugs.

Thanks for your input and I hope you can wait a little longer. Meanwhile chatter on about wirelesses, we can always move it over later.

Regards,
Hanno
