109 set
It's not my place to push the site admin . After all it's free . But a comms/radio sub forum would be a great addition.
A friend just gave me this rarity . A 1941 109 set power supply . Made in Sydney by STC . The 109 was a unique Aust. designed and built military wireless set issued to the AIF and AMF during the early war period. The case on this unit is stencilled with a Govt. arrow and PWD ? Public works dept. ? I have another one with NSWGR Govt. Railways ??? on a brass plate. Post war many ex army wireless sets saw use in various Govt. sections http://www.oldcmp.net/109_wireless.html More info on Keiths web site

Interesting bit of kit, Mike. Looks like an all steel case. What sort of size and weight would it be to move about in the field?

heavy

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 . Mike
