What do I have here? No.5.

I like these , you can get to the components easily . The two compartments , sender and receiver , just pull straight out of the case , no unsoldering or wires to remove . There are plugs in the tx/rx compartments that do the connecting of the power .

The receiver is a good performer despite being a simple design , using the original headphones , you can tune in to ssb or morse , the original headphones have a narrow bandwidth which acts or behaves like a narrow audio filter , it's a odd tinny kind of audio reproduction .

As a short wave listener, I used one of these sets for a long time, and often listened to the outback radio telephone service of Telecom , you could tune into remote cattle farms in Qld and pubs too . Every 3 minutes you would hear the Beep beep beep and the telecom operator would break in " do you want another 3 minutes "

The case or box, is made from a laminated construction, a layer of wood between brass sheets , held together with tiny rivets .

These sets were used by the 2nd AIF in places like Syria and also Malaya . The transmitter output was rather weak , around one Watt .
