With a puny 4 to 5 Watts RF output the 19 set would struggle to jam any transmission that was of higher power output. Even the HP version would be of doubtful use in the jamming role. Might work if the enemy transmission was within a few miles distance. OK on the Signals repair body , I've not seen that type of setup. I guess they were using Larkspur sets in 1962.

Yes Larkspur in 1962, unless it was a CMF Armoured Corps unit, some of which still used WS No 19 Mk3 until much later.
I have it on good authority that 10th Light Horse Regiment in Western Australia for example still operated Ferret Scout cars with WS No 19 until 1970. Not sure about the other vehicles in the unit at that time. Of course they were all discarded when the regiment converted to the M113A1s with US radios and intercom gear. Cheers Phill

That shelter type was adapted for much wider use than just signals/signals repair. Anything that needed a clean and, when air conditioned, temperature controlled environment for RAEME to undertake repairs used this type of shelter. These shelters were adapted for optical instrument repairs such as survey instruments, gun sights, periscopes, artillery electronic equipment such as FACE as well as signals equipment repair. Also used for signalling equipment operation as heavy radio stations.
There are a few images of them on Inters serving in SVN in my book Mud & Dust, and a good 3/4 front image (provided by me) in David Doyle's book on the Studebaker US-6. Mike |
