WS A Mk 3

[Tim Bell]

Wireless A Mk 3 - Normal

This is in Waterproof Container "C" and has the regular set up - with a Pull Switch allowing the operator to choose between a Battery Power source and Mains... and a Mains Plug board which allowed the operator to choose the input voltage.



Wireless A Mk 3 - Modified

This is also in Waterproof Container "C", but has been modified (all modified parts are Australian - am assuming SOA use - confirmation required) - with a Pull switch which allows the operator to choose between a Battery Power source and Generator... So... No Mains input... presumably because Mains Power was not that common where the set was used.



Wireless A Mk 3 - Hand Generator, 6v PSU and Spares

Waterproof containers:

"F" - Hand Generator with table clamps (not exclusive to WS A Mk 3)
"D" - 6v PSU and Spares








Hope the above is of interest.

"Hope the above is of interest" he says. Funny guy. Of course it's of interest!!! What a neat set. Should I make a place for it in my radio room or are you going to keep it?

The coast watchers usually used the AWA 3B set . A whole team of native carriers was needed to move the 3B around, light it was not .

The Australian service roughly equivalent to the SOE was the Services Reconnaissance Dept. (SRD) These guys did the raid on Singapore harbour
