Default Info on this tx? (RN Outfit 691).

Can anyone tell me what this is from or where they were used?

The ID plate begins APxxxx, which shouts Admiralty Pattern to me, so something naval.

Something Royal Navy, if the "AP" number is anything to go by? Is that "Drawer" on the label? If so, it might be a rack-mount section of a bigger TX. "AM/FM" suggests VHF?

73

Thanks guys. I thought navy too but there I stopped. It's interesting that it has no formal ID on it, so I agree it suggests it's a component part. Good suggestion that. Thanks

David,

I am not sure what kind of "formal ID" you are expecting? Surely AP67905 (or AP67908?) is the formal ID?

A search on the Collingwood website might well turn up more about it. (Yes, I agree that can be hard work! )

Richard,

well yes you are correct of course, but what I MEANT was something like a plate saying "Marconi T1154" or " Oceanspan Mk2" or even perhaps "WS19 Mk3". or something like that.

Hi David,
That is the Tx/Rx part of Outfit 691, a 10 channel UHF transceiver, 10W output. There would be a second drawer which is the PSU. More details under "Transceivers - outfit 691" on the Collingwood web site.
cheers
