überarbeitet am 4.1.2013 |
Shortly after WW II, the Swiss Air Force acquired a number of 130 fighter
aircraft P-51 "Mustang" from U.S. Air Force surplus. These aircraft transferred
from occupied Germany to Switzerland by Swiss pilots were equipped with the standard
VHF transceiver SCR-522 which got the Swiss
designation SE-013.
The Bendix Radio Corp. located at Baltimore developed the american standard
VHF aircraft radio system SCR-522,
it was used in different U.S. (fighter) aircraft. In the variant for mobile operation SE-013/t, one SCR-522 transceiver is
installed in a steel tube rack, together with a mains power supply and a
voice amplifier with integrated speaker. The original pilot's control box
with the frequency channel selector is integrated in the station. In another variant, two transceivers installed in a 19" rack served as fixed ground station and relay in "mountain stations" (see SE-013/f).
I would be very thankful for further information and images of the equipment in field use. further information: © 4.1.2013 Martin Bösch |
