Bob042 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Have long known these existed and one is now for sale but know little about them, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLANSMAN-320-2-TRANSMITTER-RECEIVER-BASE-RADIO-USB-and-LSB-/201838067790?hash=item2efe7c804e:g:IDMAAOSw4CFYttwL What were they fitted into? AFV's? I never came across one in the past life. Also they need a 100w amp but have never seen one, and they must be even more hen's teeth than the set itself. I would love to buy it but need more info on it's employment... Lwt FFR's? Any info would be grateful. It is one hell of a price though but considering it's rarity maybe not?

g0ozs Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I am aware of at least one other 320/2 setup still active in Lincolnshire. I don't think they were ever adopted by British forces but were made for export - I'm not sure whether there were ever any large orders. Both Plessey and RACAL marketed Clansman derived and more advanced sets commercially in the 1980s - the 320/2 competes more with the RT321/322 in the vehicle and fixed station role. I have once seen a partial chassis that had been stripped for spares - I believe that the set is electronically similar to but not the same as the standard 320 - it sacrifices the 100Hz decade switch to make room for an extra (LSB) IF filter inside. Hope this helps Iain 73 de G0OZS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob042 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi Iain, Thanks for the info, very interesting. Because of the price I decided to leave it alone. I have tried to find out more about it but nothing so I don't think it was ever in UK service except maybe trialed, it did have an MOD record plate on it though.

andym Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 In this case MOD == Modification, not Ministry of Defence. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
