WS-19 Set Canvas Cover?

[Mike Kelly]

Although the 19 set is a nice bit of historical kit , they were not the most user friendly thing to play with .

The Mk 3 version ( which Michael has I think ) is the best one as the Canadian built mk 3's have a vibrator running the receiver .The earlier Mk 2 's have the large genemotor whizzing around all the time , flattening your battey in no time .

The 19 set was designed to be good enough to ' just do the job 'and thats all , in other words it was a mass produced item with borderline specifications . How they managed to use them in a mobile tank , I will never know .

The VHF B sets were so bad , a very crude design not worth the trouble .

With the A set - If you detuned the PA tune dial slightly , you would transmit out on 455 odd KHZ ( the IF ) from your desired frequency .

A big trap for the uninitiated !
