airportable Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi folks. Just aquired a interesting set of radios.(3) Does anyone know anything about them? I understand they are connected with bomb disposal, one small set has a stuck on label 'THIS SHAWRAKER IS TO STAY ON THE BOMB PIG/PIG PIG' Make is Storno..5820-99-652-7024 Big radio.....5820-99-656-0309. Kit No. on transit case damaged. There is also a tape recorder. Batteries may be a problem. Would be intrested to know what frequency they opperated at. They do appear to look quite old. Thanks for any info. Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 EOD coms, sadly the tape recorder is to record what may be the crucial final words of the ATO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 As for the frequency, that looks like a 1/4 whip antenna so it will be somewhere in the UHF spectrum. Measure the length of the whip in inches & put it in this to get the answer! http://www.qsl.net/kd4sai/antencal.html (This is only a ballpark figure as it doesn't take account of the velocity factor of the radiator & the dielectric over it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
