James,

I believe under normal conditions the pilot would have done all of the chatting to the airfield using what is referred to above as 'the R/T set', i.e. the TR9/TR1196/TR1143/SCR-522 which is under his control. The Wireless Operator would take no part in this activity, except in an emergency such as the pilot's set being u/s.
