RADIO SET AN/TRC-7

year 1945 USA

 

Radio Set RT-53 AN/TRC-7 is a16 tube,portable,low-power receiver-transmitter, operated by battery, hand generator, or a combination of both. IT is designed for A-M (amplitude -modulated), two way communication over short distance in the V-H-F (very-high-frequency) range.This equipment is intended primarily to provide communication from ground troops to aircraft using transmitter and receing equipment which operates in the same r-f (radio-frequency) range. It may be operated with either whip antenna AT-59/TRC-7, or antenna assembly AS110-/TRC-7, using battery BA-70, hand generator G-3/TRC-7, or a combination of both as the source of power. Radio Set AN/TRC-7 may be operated from a remote position by Remote Control Unit RM-52 and Control Unit RM-53. The Monitor jack is used with Radio Sets AN/PPN-1 and AN/PPN-2.

 

Real simple, it is a remote that allows you to use a radio without the radio being near you.
