gwrightoy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) Can someone tell me what era of vehicle this base may have fitted. Possibly ferret ? Or any other relevant information. Thanks Graeme Edited January 24, 2023 by gwrightoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwrightoy Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Just been told it's not off a vehicle. It goes on the top of a 27 ft mast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I actually have and it's exactly the same , just pulled it out of my 'playroom' and dusted it off. It has a MOD 'record plate' with table of numbers to hatch-off. Stencilled on underside of flange is NSN 5820-99-103-4476 - Goooogle on that for more clues. I was given it over 25 years ago by a HAM , he told me more - memory thinks vehicle & Larkspur. It has a tapered , 4 section (but fixed) antenna 4feet long - this I assume is original ? No other info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Seems to be Tactical Ground to Air. VMARS site indicating for A13 radio set - unfortunately Norton blocking download - due to a security risk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonb Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Goes on top of the Larkspur 27' mast and takes standard aerial rods to make an even longer vertical aerial. Or can be used with the co-ax feed for an elevated VHF aerial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64EK26 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi Manual for those who are interested ElevAerial_23to38Mc_12341.pdf and for the 27ft mast Mast_27Ft_12059.pdf There is another version, same base, but for higher frequencies Cheers Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
