The British built a copy post war...the major problem was, the set could only talk to another SCR 300, it's frequency band meant that it couldn't communicate with any other radio in the US signal Corps inventory

WS No.31 and WS No.128
 

Hi Mike !

As you know the British based their Wireless Sets No. 31 (And 31 AFV) as well as Australia later produced the Wireless Set No. 128 on the SCR 300.

I had a 128 years ago and still have 31s in my collection. Great little sets. Always wanted the original US set some day.

Cheers

What did you have 128 years ago? ;)

Hi Phill

Like yourself, I've come across a few examples of the 31 set AFV . I passed a set onto our mutual friend in Adelaide.

The Australian Army must have used the AFV version , but I'm not sure in what context. There was a version mounted in the early British army Land Rovers .

The 128 is a neat little set, and unique to Australia, being wholly designed and built here, and it was deployed in the Korean conflict. Link to a 128 https://www.tuberadio.com/ws128/128.html

A ham friend had a 128 on the air and we had a QSO from Melbourne to Tasmania when I was down there.

Forgot to mention: I believe the French also built the SCR 300 post war.
