Default Plessey C42 HP Wireless Sets

According to a brief one or two line comment on the Royal Corps of Signals Museum site in England, there was a sister wireless set to the C42, identified as the C45 Set. The two are apparently visually identical, the C45 merely covers a higher set of frequencies. The notation goes on to say that a C42 HP Set, or a C45 HP Set could also be created by mounting either of the base sets into a high power amplifier unit.

Has anyone ever worked with or seen these high power Plessey rigs, or the amplifier assembly?

David

Default C-42....c-45

you are of course nearly correct they do look similar...however C-45 was only used by RA units...whilst if I remember correctly I only used the C-42 for RRB facilty...by the way have a complete working C-45 station here...am putting the USA made R66/R110 in my lwb M38( r/h drive made for USAF in the UK) best regards malcolm
