    Have you thought of contacting the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford, they may be able to help you out?

    No, I havn't. Not sure if they'll help out a private collector. Been there last year and they had a set in their exhibition.

    The PTD had the crypto fill in it, the CIG was the actual encryption unit, you used to fill the CIG, then remove and lock your PTD away, next power failure or wipe, you then used the PTD to refill... or along those lines

    Having worked in crypto for a good few year, I have seen these at shows and museums and get a bit twitchy!!

    I guess as Ptarmigan is no longer in use its probably all declassified and available but not much use without the Switch to programme the PTD...

    No friends in Crypto...!

    Ok, didn't know that the CIG had that capability.

     

  2. I'm trying to complete a SCRA (T) kit for my Land Rover, looking for the TX/RX Unit and CIG for some time. Still got several parts like vehicle and elevated antenna with cables, control keyer with cables, TX/RX mount, many handbooks .....

    Just wonder if here is someone who actually has an complete SCRA (T) and could swap me some information. Doesn't seem to be very common. Are there working SCRA's in collector hands?  Are there PTDs for the CIG around?

  3. The programmer on the right is also used for the Racal/Thales YEOMAN radios, an interim solution between CLANSMAN and BOWMAN.

    The terminal on the left could be a part of the AWDATS, maybe a dismounted version. It looks quiet similar to the one in the Abbot and AS90.

  4. All 201/202 are standard clansman 2pin power cables male/female

    The 401s are DCCU 4pin cables

    101/102 are a Clansman Coax cable

    601 is a clansman 7pin cable m/m

    602 is a clansman 7pin cable f/m

    1201 is a clansman 12pin harness cable

    And 104/106 seem to be earth leads.

     

    I'm not sure which cable the 601/1 is, because I don't have a DMU (useless without the BID and the BIDs arn't on the market)

    I don't have the propper documents for this picture but I know the cables you need from my installations.

  5. No, it is just the reference for this document, the reference numbers are different in every clansman manual and are not combined with an NSN. For example in the REBRO Manual are the 7pin cables 601 to 608 but only 601 to 604 have the same NSN.

    But the only 401 cable I can mention ist the 4 pin DCCU cable.

    Are you checking the voltage with a battery connected ? With no load the regulator has no reference voltage .40 to 50 volts is not uncommon in a open circuit situation .

    I checked it with and without a battery connected. Same results. The manual says that the load can be connected before starting or while running, with the main switch off, so I tried both, but the resistors and capacitors in the control box started to melt and had to be exchanged.

    Have you had a tacho on the Kubota  ?   Is it according to governor ?  There must be a stated rpm for these tests , probably a large difference in generated voltage  for small increase in speed + as stated it needs a load.

    No i don't have a tacho on it. I did the test with low speed setting and higher speed settings. With low speed I had 40v and higher speed around 60v ac.

     

    I will connect my Land Rover FFR batteries, maybe a larger load work.

  7. I'm searching for information about the Hopkins Engine Driven Battery Charger 12v/24v.

    I have two of these generator sets and both with the same fault. The excitor stator produces 10-16v, but has to produce 24-30v AC.

    I have all handbooks (Illustrated Part Catalogue, fault table, etc...). The stator has the part number RM21KX1 from Lucas. I bought a new RM21, but it didn't produce 24-30v ac, it produced 45-60v ac but with exactly the same part number.

    Does anyone here, have some experiences with these generator sets, or this exact fault?

    I've been searching for information since a year but with no results.

  8. Hello everyone.

    I found this forum on google, when I was searching for ex MOD Land Rover information.

    Since last october I'm the owner of an ex MOD Land Rover 110 from 1987. Keeping it as original as possible, I hope to exchange knowledge about ex MOD vehicles with other owners here. At the moment I'm installing a Clansman PRC 352 vehicle harness in my One Ten.

    I'm interested in everything that refers to the British Army in Germany/ BAOR and ex Mod equipment.

    Best Regards from Germany
