Product Description
- Every LRDG patrol was equipped with one vehicle equipped with a No. 11 radio and a Philips Type 635 receiver for non-military use.
- Radio No. 11 was designed for use in tanks and contained transmitter and receiver circuits.
- The LRDG used Morse code for all communications and could communicate over long distances using a 1.9 metre truck-mounted dipole antenna providing a range of up to 800 km, or even longer using a Windham dipole mechanism suspended from two 5.2 metre high masts.
- The drawback of using the Windham mechanism was that it took time to install, so it could only be used in relatively safe areas.
- A spare battery was also installed to power No. 11.
- Phillips receivers were used to intercept Greenwich Mean Time, which was crucial for navigation in the desert.
