NO 19 SET Mk III

The #19 set has an 18 watt input and operates between 2 and 8 MHz. This HF portion was called the 'A' set. If used with an 8 foot whip on a vehicle, it had a typical range of 10 miles.  An auxiliary radio called the 'B' set operated in the 230-240 MHz band and provided communications up to a 1,000 yards between vehicles.

Canadian Marconi and RCA Victor commenced production of Mark 3 version of the famous No, 19 set in   May, 1943. This example belongs to David Lawrence VA3ORP. The speaker is not native to the 19 set. It is just there so the public can hear the audio in this demonstration scene.  (Photo by Jerry Proc)
