To answer bluntly..it's bloody heavy

It was primarily intended for vehicles. The Infantry used the AWA 101 set more I think.

During it's production ..1939 to 42, they changed it and it was so marked with *** to signify what mods it had . The Power supply was a 6 Volt unit ... I have used one on the ham bands and it worked remarkably well. Total production was around 1500 ..not many .
