I was a bit surprised at how the caps actually tested. (Overview) Was present in almost all German tanks and some other vehicles. I left the original rear power plug in place and found out that miniature banana plugs fit perfectly into the WW2 socketed pins. To check for value and leakage with one test device you must resurrect an old piece of test gear known as the capacitor checker. This article is a list and a description of the radio equipment. but it probably didnt make sense. Hung-Yu David Yang, in The Electrical Engineering Handbook, 2005. So, I suppose in WWII it would have been Baker!) Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR): Also see Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio ( ESMR ). He had built a little one tube power supply to replace the dynamotor. How to make this low frequency radio system become reality was one of the most complicated jobs in the Pacific during the war. It operated in the 27,000 to 33,300kHz (27-33.3MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 20 Watts. It was usually used with a two-metre antenna. (BBC Messages) We are now at a point where the surplus WW2 electronics should no longer be hacked to bits. If a capacitor failed, then it must be re-stuffed. Army equipment was primitive, had a very short range, and often negotiated atmospheric interference. Cool project, and congratulations to this great device!

Torn.Fu.d2: A VHF transceiver. EDIT: forgot to add that nearly all transmitters employed crystal-oscillators (wartime demands actually drove research to make leaps in radio crystal quality). FuG 4: A medium-wave receiver used in command tanks. Nice! He taught me all about the command rx and tx. Single-unit "walkie-talkie" system. Aircraft used a variety of frequencies. It operated in the 23,000 to 24,950 kHz (23-24.95 MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 10 Watts. Ground. I dont think you kept your own rules here because you replaced some capacitor with new parts. endobj Over one hundred firms applied to be the Contractors used for the Pacific Naval Bases. I think you did a great restoration just a pity about nonsensical rules! 28 secup 2 yr. ago I can confirm 30ish mhz, as I used them in "training" 16 NeuroG 2 yr. ago Of course, they called them megacycles, rather than MHz. 56 0 obj Isnt ESR short for Equivalent Series Resistance? Range 5km AM voice.[1]. Range up to 100km. R1155 frequency range: 75 kHz to 18.5 MHz depending on the model variant. Channel 2 8000 CPS teletype. Fortunately for me, and unlike solid state equipment, no damage was done. of the 348) that my Dad used in the late 40s. The SCR-536 was a two-way, portable radio used extensively by United States armed forces during World War II. It was usually used for communication with a Fug 8 in the same installation. It operated in the 36.67MHz frequency range. 28VDC in, 250VDC out all the while spinning like a whirly-bird. I wonder if the Nazi's used Hertz? endobj Transmitter power 1 watt. endobj 1. The GEE MkII was the main navigation system used throughout WW2 in Europe. Actually, the 3D printing would solve a nasty problem in making WW2 gear operate again; finding the connectors! The station was commissioned on December 21, 1941, and grew to be one of the largest Naval radio stations in the world at that time (Allen, 1950: 226). Building for war:Contractors, Pacific Naval Air Bases. photo right . After the war the codes were declassified and Ka band and millimeter (mm) were added. It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000kHz frequency range with a transmission power of 100 Watts. Octal tubes were used as the active devices and the operational frequencies did not exceed 20 MHz, which was considered a high frequency for the mid 1930's. This radio gear was light-weight. It operated in the 23.11 to 24.01 MHz (24100 to 25000kHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 5 Watts. If one fails and the failure results in burning up some much harder to replace part was it worth it? Power 220 V AC 50Hz 680 VA. Stuttgart - FuG D 3: Development item, possible none deployed. I never played with the transmitters very much. 85 0 obj Mast or tower. For B+ I went to the dollar store and bought 20 9v batteries and snapped them together into a B+ strip It operated in the 19,990 to 21,470kHz (19.99-21.47MHz) frequency range with a transmission power of 5 Watts. The frequency range was (Mc) 20 to 27.9. (Looking at you, [MisterM]!). He wanted to convey to the world the idea that Nazism was an acceptable political idea and his first radio broadcasts were performances by some of Germany's top orchestras and opera singers.Once this approach had bedded down, he introduced a system whereby little messages were broadcast piece by piece - spreading the . So rule 1 fails immediately. These radios were designed in the mid 1930s. The communication on these frequencies was by either hand keyed Morse code or radio teletype. This equipment provided for 125 radio channels at 50kHz channel spacing. It operated in the 1,130 to 3,000kHz frequency range. All caps were open-circuit as far as my DVM was concerned (unfortunately DVMs are not sensitive enough for a proper leakage test, more on this later). Sadly the impact of this (significantly improved Command and Control of forces at the tactical level) gets virtually no 'airtime'. The b version was used by the infantry until they changed to the 'c' model radio in another band. With all of this I made a neat wire harness to tie it all together. A 1913 aircraft with a radio, at the time considered cutting-edge equipment, had a maximum range of 2,000 yards. But if you have an old frequency generator also marked in cps, Lastly, contracts should be paid a fixed fee instead of the conventional percentage of cost because it does not benefit the contractor to spend money but instead rewards him for not spending money (Woodbury, 1946:59). 25 0 obj Spaceborne altimeters generally use frequencies in the 2-18 GHz band while scatterometers generally use frequencies between 5-36 GHz. Post-WWII use continued for quite some time with AR-8510s showing up on old oil tankers as late as the 1980s. 8 0 obj However, the Naval fleet expansion into the Pacific created communication needs that were not yet being met. << /S /GoTo /D (subsection.6.1) >> Radio frequency radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which is a combination of electric and magnetic fields that move through space together as waves. If I have to restuff a capacitor because its failed, in my book that means I am fitting a new component. 49 0 obj I dont mess with a lot of old kit now, but when I was getting into it, if the paper/wax caps looked okay visually, not toasted, or the wax dripped out or anything, Id usually give them a pass and move on, cant recall they ever made me come back to them. Old resistors tend to increase in value over time. Various radios were used for clandestine communications by resistance groups in WWII, including the Norwegian OLGA and the British Paraset, which was supplied to resistance groups in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. A capacitor must operate to its specified value so it is good to test to see if the cap is functioning as a cap. endobj The British broadcaster is turning to frequencies that still work during a communications blackout. Range up to 100km. Another system, and the subject of this blog piece, was the F-10 radio-controlled mine. << /S /GoTo /D (subsection.2.2) >> 76 0 obj During a siege on enemy territory, the Aztecs warriors would sound the "Death Whistle" in an effort to cause their . The huge, high powered antennas would send out stable, long waves that were able to travel long distances and penetrate intrusions, such as mountains and water. But a question: why go to all of the work to restuff caps and things, all hidden deep inside, but then have all that modern bright plastic wire, tie-wraps, psychedelic banana plugs and a modern speak hanging on the outside, its kind of trashing it up, like someone painting graffiti on it? With that said, ESR testing is useful for testing the electrolytic power supply capacitors in tube equipment. Its definitely going the extra mile to do this and if you can keep it going a little longer than 20 years that will make it a hundred years old and possibly the future generations will see it as value and keep the restoration going. 1 Watt output AM voice and CW. When we were young; in the 70s; we destroyed literally tons of stuff like that just for fun. Fug 20: A 0.1 - 7.1MHz receiver paired with a 1.1 - 3MHz transmitter. Theres no getting around this, otherwise you might miss-read the cap value or leakage test. Channel 1 control channel voice, Channel 2 nine voice channels or p x 3 Teletype. It was usually used with a 1.4 metre antenna. Near exclusively AM mode. That increased both the gain and the selectivity of the radio. Stephen Chasey liked LIDL PARKSIDE Battery hacks. stream Depending on the set a range of communication facilities were available consisting of voice and/or teletype and Hellscriber. This radio came in at 181 pounds. It was used for by observation teams of the Sturmartillerie to communicate with artillery units. 4 LiamCH91 2 yr. ago How the Nazi army communicated wirelessly, Wireless Communications of the German Army in World War II, "Technical Manual: Handbook on German Military Forces", "Summary of Characteristics of German Decimetre Communications Equipments", https://www.dropbox.com/s/ht7s2xjb8vovnbn/article-German-Communication-UHF-DMGmichael.pdf?dl=0, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wireless_Communications_of_the_German_Army_in_World_War_II&oldid=1077340533, All Wikipedia articles written in American English, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0, This page was last edited on 15 March 2022, at 20:35. endobj Torn.Fu.b: A HF transceiver. << /S /GoTo /D (section.5) >> Laptop Motherboard? 57 0 obj This innovation constituted the Contractors, Pacific Naval Air Base (CPNAB). endobj I then moved onto cleaning the Dynamotor.

First, that private contractors would be used because the use of civil service engineers was too slow. Radio-frequency identification ( RFID) has been around for over 80 years and has evolved into one of the most powerful technologies available for sample tracking and asset management. Naturally their foray into military-technology innovation affects the way defense satellites are designed in the next half-century. Ive become a believer in testing all the caps now. By 1943 Japan controlled about forty broadcasting stations and was able to have programmes going out on shortwave around the clock on more than fifty frequencies. As much as Ive read about Dynamotors, Ive never seen on in action. FuG 7: A VHF transceiver (receiver/transmitter) used in command tanks. (BBC Medium Wave and Short Wave Broadcasting) 20 0 obj Sadly this is no longer the case. During World War II, the German Army relied on an diverse array of communications to maintain contact with its mobile forces and in particular with its armoured forces. Repackaged as FuG 3 neu for use with motorcycle troops. How the lineage of the walkie-talkie reaches from World War II to the modern cell phone. Two weeks ago I was at the Communications Museum in Seattle, and they had a Command Set just like yours, tuned to the Boeing Tower frequency. FuG 3: A low-band VHF receiver. Those old radios are fun. Endnotes: Chapter 3. Radio was the cheapest form of entertainment, and it was the most popular medium during World War II. No replacement of any components whatsoever. . 1.5 Watt output AM voice and CW. The museum ships often have fully operational radio rooms wherein folks make the old radio gear work again. 64 0 obj BETWEEN WW1 AND WW2 After the WW1 scientists continued researching of underwater radio communication. The accessibility and availability meant it fueled propaganda and could reach a large number of citizens. One of the forerunners for this technology was the revolutionary electrical musical instrument developed by Leon Theremin. 65 0 obj Low as 50v on the plates but diminished audio Some radios are pre-programmed to repeater channel frequencies, and some will need to be . noun. Comparable to the American SCR-508 tank radio, which covered a similar frequency range (20-27.9MHz) at 25 watts. Amazing for resistors built before February of 42. Please note: the Haik Stairs are currently closed and illegal to access. I hooked up my 20m dipole and to my amazement I was tuning in AM broadcast stations at around 1500 Kc. FM stations operating in the old frequency band were required to move to the higher frequencies and most did so before 1948. My grandmother was a ham during WW2, my grandfather was in the signal corps. endobj endobj Range 70km AM voice to 200km CW. The radio could have been used in both. Used at the regimental command post. Leakage testing is absolutely critical and must be done for each and every cap. . There are also other frequencies allowed based on location (Hawaii, Los Angeles, and the Grand Canyon). Olek has updated the project titled Fan Controller. I have a couple stock R-2x series receivers (navy version) and BC series (Army version). << /S /GoTo /D (section.1) >> WWII Before the dawn of the Second World War, radio has become a common means of entertainment and information. At Midway Wildcats, like Devastators, took very heavy losses. At one time (1976) I had it mounted in my 65 Datsun (named Ziggy), and used to work CW on 40 meters with headphones on and a key strapped to my leg. Anyone, anywhere in the world can listen in, simply by tuning a radio to the frequency 4625 kHz. << /S /GoTo /D [90 0 R /Fit] >> endobj In the hearings of 1939 were stated several points that convinced skeptics of the decision to use this system of CPNAB. I used to have a transceiver built in the U.S. for use in Russian tanks, during WWII. Of course I am not proud of that today. Rather than having two motors with two shafts tied together (larger units on ships actually used such configurations) this motor is built into one compact unit with two armatures and two sets of brushes. Cheers, W7PYX, Please be kind and respectful to help make the comments section excellent. Through the use of coastal spotters, advanced radar and early warning, they were able to gain an advantage by gaining altitude and make high speed diving attacks shooting in a high pass. Frequencies around the 13-18 GHz band is where precipitation radars generally operate. Sturmartillerie units. ( Introduction) Dynamotors are motor-generators; in my case one end is a spinning motor at 28VDC motor and the other end is a 250VDC generator. Operating on the 500 - 560MHz band, two channels. Replacement for Torn.Fu.f. Very nice rebuild, a lot of patience to test each capacitor multiple ways. This wasnt restoration though, it was trying to get the last few cents worth of service out of ancient crap for as little additional investment possible. Unfortunately some leaky capacitors will measure to their specified value, so this test is not definitive. Rule 3. is generally totally incompatible with rule 1. Instead of replacing the caps I opted to do a cursory check of the caps and try powering the unit up for an assessment. Production on the SCR-536 radio began in July of 1941, and approximately 130,000 of them were built by Galvin Manufacturing Co./Motorola of Chicago, Illinois. endobj 84 0 obj Main advantage over the FuG 5 was greater range. FuG 17: Designation for a Torn Fu H transceiver. $79.99 Receivers use a single-conversion heterodyne architecture similar to that of big wood console radios of the era. For general aviation, 122.75 is the official fixed wing air-to-air frequency designated by the FCC and FAA (and 123.025 is for helicopters). However, The radios would probably be near identical to CBs in their function, key differences being Freq Range, power- ect. Channel 1, one voice channel or one 800 CPS teletype. DMG 3 K: Truck-mounted. Tower up to 50 m. Transmission power 0.4 Watts. For example, according to the ARRL Ham net's directory, there's a Bartlesville, Oklahoma rag chew net that operates on 444.775 MHz on Wednesdays at 8:30 pm. Of course, they called them megacycles, rather than MHz. Range up to 50km. They used radio frequencies from 15 kHz to 33,3 kHz. Its very rare that resistors are all in tolerance (as here), but it could happen (German resistors are excellent in this regard). I also got a lot of use of the BC-453 low frequency version as an improvement to my Hallicrafters receiver connecting it to the 455 Kc IF to take advantage of the low IF (85 Kc) to give improved selectivity. It operated in the 32-38MHz frequency range. One of the first tasks was building the Operation Office in Alameda. Other frequencies involved include 7050 kHz LSB and 3731 kHz. If run out of trim, I might do a little naughty and just strap a little booster cap across it. The major difference between German Army tank sets and US Army tank sets was the American use of FM for the high-HF/low-VHF bands. News will be read in English, which the BBC. In other words, how much series DC resistance does a capacitor present when it is measured at a relatively high frequency. Great project! It operated in the 1.87 - 3MHz frequency range. << /S /GoTo /D (section.6) >> The G series were still mobile but were intended to form more of a backbone for communications and were intended to remain in place for longer periods than the K. They again used a series of masts up to 50 m high. Flavio Moreira has added a new log for Radio Feather X. Keri Szafir liked Resurrecting Old Computer Hardware And Software.

With the outbreak of World War II, radio communication stations in Hawaii were built as rapidly as all other military operations that combined to make the Pacific offensive. Otherwise identical to Torn.Fu.b. The Aztec "Death Whistle" served a variety of purposes from human sacrifice rituals to warfare. . Electrostatic has nothing to do with it. The CPNAB had an interest in Haik Valley as soon as the war broke out. With good resistors, good caps, a working dynamotor I then moved onto the tuning mechanism. 29 0 obj I re-connected it the correct way and it worked just as well as it did before. In fact, using sound to psychologically attack an enemy has roots in the ancient Aztec culture. Everything from receivers to transmitters that ran on low voltage DC busses used dynamotors to generate the 200-1000V, or more, needed for operation. The station was highly experimental and also highly classified. I followed the instructions from the original service manual, aligning the IF first (using a modern synthesized signal generator to get it spot-on), then the front-end variable cap assembly that I had just repaired. Panzergrenadier units. With the strong powered radio signals they succeeded to communicate from a distance of 16 nautical miles, depth of submarine's antenna was 10 metres. And yes, Ive restored many WWII radios, and the peanut gallery is always annoying. Used by the infantry. The F4F is often underrated today because its performance numbers look so bad on paper but it had a very good kill ratio and it was the main US fighter at Midway. 0uXA{z2{w At that time, the mood of America was one of caution. I love seeing the WWII equipment properly restored. The "Backpack" or Torn series and the field or Feld series. Used by the infantry at the regimental and battalion level. The nice thing about tube gear is that when the power is turned off the tubes present an open-circuit and therefore you can test resistors reliably in-circuit without removing them. (BBC Radio Signal Prediction) Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. And of course lets not forget the legendary Collins ART-13 with auto-tune. . Modern direction finding of both communications and noncommunications signals covers a much wider range of frequencies. A true restoration, not a replace old carcass with modern guts restoration like weve been so used to seeing. I was also surprised by the quality of the caps in my WS19. er /fr (h)bandr/. A technician who modifies or hacks a radio to transmit on frequencies beyond its usual design parameters. 41 0 obj Its tedious, but even photographing each page with a digital camera is better than nothing. All paper/wax capacitors were fine. The only exception for me is that historical books and papers should be preserve, so we can know what has preceded us. This would be the first time that the Government had ever used this method on a big job (Woodbury, 1946: 52). It was used for by reconnaissance elements for intercommunication. The later was tricky, with some high, medium, and low-band-specific alignments required. Dynamotor worked perfectly, just like new again! It consists of a few dials and a very sensitive Magic Eye tube which will deflect leakage is detected. And I used an external home brew power supply and soldered directly to pins. The system would also require a transmitter building at the bottom of the valley, placement of anchors at the ridge of the cliffs, wires running from the anchors to the transmitter, and a copper grid system in the valley to assist in conducting the signals. (Even if it was just the dial lights in some!). are control channel capable frequencies RFSS Site Name County Freqs; 1 (1) 001 (1) Baltimore Simulcast: Baltimore: 769.18125: 769.45625: 769.48125 : 769.71875: 770.23125: 770. . I tested the electrolytic and paper caps with a Fluke DVM in resistance mode for obvious shorts or low impedance. Ive been told all my life about old-timey Army/Navy surplus stores where you could buy buckets of FT-243 crystals, radio gear, gas masks, and even a Jeep boxed-up in a big wooden crate. Now *that* is how you do a restoration! Matching the transmitters that operated in this frequency range, this receiver provided for 50kHz channel steps in the 27.0 to 33.3MHz range for a total of 125 available channels. Torn.Fu.a: A HF transceiver. Sound torture is nothing new. Mine came out of a old sheriffs car. VHF frequency is widely used in analog TV broadcasting since it started a few decades back. endobj have extremely high DC impedance) at high voltages.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate. There is a Museum ships radio contest once per year, ships will operate CW and AM with the old gear and plug in a modern transceiver to operate SSB. Used by artillery forward observers. Given the changes to the tuning unit I realized that I had to do a full alignment. There was a lot of noise coming through the speaker likely due to failed decoupling caps that would otherwise quiet the dynamotors hum. I dont know if they finally all sold out, or everything just got sent for scrap when Soviet surplus and post Soviet cheap optics and gear filled out the surplus pages during the 90s. They are bitterly disappointing except for one surplus store that I found while on vacation in the Adirondacks: Patriot of Lake George. It operated in the 3-5MHz frequency range. About Me - Opt out - OP can reply !delete to delete - Article of the day. Sets employing frequency modulation and carrier techniques were developed and used, as were also radio relay sets that used radar pulse transmission and reception techniques and multiplex time-division methods for obtaining many voice channels from one radio carrier. Looking back at my own history, its clear that the kids toys were always the last priority in a move. Im surprised. the vital issue of using private contractors to do the work in the pacific. Fug 19: A transceiver operating in the range 3 - 7.5 Mhz. Radio Communications in World War II Naval radio communication played a vital role in World War II efforts and Hawaii's defensive installation. From this information shown on the navigators screen, a course to the target or as home run could be plotted. Frequencies from 1-11 GHz are frequency bands where SAR imaging radars operate. Excellent project. (Introduction) Fug 21: A 0.1 - 10MHz receiver paired with a 2.5 - 7.5MHz transmitter. 1 0 obj A leaky cap will act like a high value resistor, in the many-multi-mega ohm range thereby reverse-biasing the grids of tubes or discharging itself causing it to not function like a capacitor at all. Olek has updated the project titled RelAC - Relay module for smart home appliances. People were very hesitant to become involved in another war, particularly if America was not directly involved. Im also in agreement to not drill holes or modify per the surplus conversion handbooks %PDF-1.5 With the receiver aligned I tested its sensitivity.
