Eastern Bloc Radios[edit]

R-123 and R-123 M Transceivers. This is one of the newest FM sets to be issued to the Soviet forces. It is a compact transceiver that has a frequency range of 20 to 51.5 MC and can be continually tuned over the entire frequency range, and there is also a switch, which allows the operator to select any one of four pre-set frequencies. There are two antennas for use with this set, a four meter one for when the vehicle is in motion and a ten-meter telescopic antenna for when the vehicle is used as a stationary command post. The R 123M has no internal speaker, therefor a headset/mike or CVC helmet must be used. Normally this is also done through an intercom system. The various voltages that are required to operate this set are supplied by a transistorised power supply.

The set is capable of transmitting over a range of 16 to 55 Km (10 to 35 miles) depending on the type of antenna used. The set has excellent frequency stability and because of its modular design, repairs are easily accomplished by replacement of the defective module. The set however has a problem in that the antenna loading indicators will give several different indications during the antenna loading procedure. It is therefore possible for an unskilled operator to load the antennas improperly and the set will transmit far below its maximum power out put.

This set can be netted with several US sets. They include the AN/VRC 12 series of radios, the AN/PRC-77, the AN/PRR 9 and the AN/PRT 4 A. The R-123 has a voice operated mode (VOX) and the R-123M set does not have a VOX capability. This set had become the standard set of the Soviet and Warsaw pact armies before their collapse. It is also included in all armoured vehicles that the Soviets exported. The sample in my collection was brought back from Desert Storm and had English language metal tags glued on over the Russian Cyrillic writing. The glue did not hold up well in the desert heat and many were falling off. One is also forced to wonder what good are English language tags to an Iraqi tank crewman.

This set is normally used with the R-124 intercom system, a fully transistorised replacement for the R-120. This is similar to the R-120 intercom system in that it consisted of an amplifier, crew station junction boxes, connecting cords and CVC helmets. The concocting cords came in little leather pouches and I have samples of the push to talk switches both in Cyrillic and in English.

The RUP-15 is ex-Yugoslav Peoples Army HF/SSB radio station designed by RIZ Zagreb factory (ex Yugoslavia) for combat use.

The radio operates in the 2 to 12 MHz band with 100Hz spacing and provides SSB (LSB), AM and CW facilities. Frequency Selection is by decade knobs, which control a synthesizer.

A transmitter output power of 15 W PEP working into a whip antenna gives the RUP-15 a ground-wave communications range in excess of 20 km by day under normal conditions.

The RUP-15 is suitable for use as a ground station, working into static ground- or sky-wave antennas. Working into a dipole or end-fed antenna, sky-wave communications at ranges from 50 to 1500 km or greater can be achieved. This range performance is due in part to the high-grade receiver and high efficiency manual antenna-tuning unit, which is integral with the transmitter/receiver unit. The radio is carried on the operator's back. It is powered by rechargeable 12V Ag/Zn batteries of 20Ah capacity.

W.W.II. Period Radios 1935 to 1950, General Issue Tactical Radios[edit]

6PK Set, ( British W.S. 18 and US BC 9 Sets )[edit]

This station was built in two wooden chests. Chest No 1 carried the radio and was packed by the assistant radio operator. The principle radio operator packed the No 2 chest which held the batteries. He could then stand behind the assistant and tune the radio and set the controls. This set was to be for general purpose communication at the Battalion level, in the infantry, artillery and cavalry. It operated from 3.750 to 5.250 Mc/s, receiving up to 5.500Mc/s, its dial being calibrated in 61 channels indicating 150-210.

The RF power was 0.66 W, increased to 1 watt in the later 6 PK D. The set was powered by several 80 volt dry cells and a 4 volt accumulator. The transceiver was built into a wooden chest covered with canvas. The transmitter used four type UB 110 tubes and the receiver was a TRF circuit and used a type SB 112 tube in the RF stage and the UB 110 tubes in the detector and AF stages. The tubes were made by Swerdlana and the set was made by Ordshonikidse in Moscow. Moscow tube plant was called "Melz" (Moskovskyj El. Lampovyj Zavod). Ordzhonikidze radio plant situated in Moscow.

The other name for the 6PK set is "Malaya Politotdelskaya" (Little, for political branches). The Station was also used as non-army in peoplesl cooperatives (Kolchos) etc. The same has happened to 10-RT radio set after the war.

RB and RB 40[edit]

In the period 1930-1941 a new generation of sets were developed. These operated from 1.5 - 6 Mc/s. Transmitter / Receiver A-7, A-7-A, A-7-B with Chest These stations were one of the very few sets that were Frequency Modulated and operating on the VHF band, working on either side of the lower limit of the band ( 27-32 Mc/s ). They were used by the artillery brigades and rifle regiments down to unit level. A7A and A-7B have had different frequency ranges.

This set came in a wooden carrying case which housed the transceiver, batteries and all related accessories. The set was 15 1/2" x 13 1/4' x 7". The set is recognised by a large semi-circular tuning dial on the right side, a panel meter, top centre and two large terminals on the left side for connection to telephone wires when being used by artillery forward observers. There are several versions and the A-7 set.

This set is contained in a metal case and the ones I have seen were painted olive green. It is one of the better constructed sets of the period.

RB, RBM, RBM-1 and RBM-5 with accessories[edit]

These stations were probably the first of what might be called the next new generation of Russian radios. The RB first appeared in 1938 and covered 1.5 to 6 MHz. It was designed by the N.I.I.S.K.A. (Scientific-Research Communication Institute of Red Army).

The RBM and RB 5 appeared in 1942 and covered 1.75 to 6 MHz. This set was made in a metal case, thus making it almost watertight, and transported by pack straps. In later versions, a canvas pack was used. An examination of four pictures of the set reveal that it made use of a superhetrodyne receiver, (Six I F transformers were observed) There appeared to be two three gang tuning capacitors.

Front panel controls and connections consisted of two main tuning controls and dials mounted below glass windows. There appeared to be a 5 position band selector switch, a transmit / receive switch was located in the centre. Sockets for headphones and a key were at the bottom of the set. Two more pointer knobs appeared to be mounted under the tuning capacitors and connected by long shafts to potentiometers mounted at the rear of the set. Two sockets with 5 male pins were on either side of the set which presumably were for the power supply connections. Of the few diagrams in the technical manual, there were diagrams for three ways to connect the batteries. Voltage requirements were for 2.5 volts from a 2HKH-22 wet cell battery for the tube filaments and three bAC 80 batteries with taps at + 60,+ 80, and + 90 volts. The set required 80 volts and 200 volts for plate supply. Once again, the practice of having two cases, one for the radio and one for the batteries meant that the radio operator and his assistant travelled with an electrical umbilical cord between them which made rapid movement almost impossible.

These stations were designed by Vladimir Ivanovich Nemtsov, a famous author of science fiction stories. He worked as NKVD designer and all the stations were made at NKVD secret institute, named Plant Nr.4 NKVD. He had written a book named "Parallels Crossing", devoted to his life and his pre-war radio designer's activity. The RRU was made in 1936, Frequency 7.42 - 9.05 Mhz, Power 0.1 Watt, Weight 4.1 Kg, Max Range 2.5 km. RRS-IN 1940, there also were RBS and RBS-2 "Arax". And latest one was RBS-3 or "Arax-2", which was made in a telephone Handset.

Stations mentioned below were not designed by Vladimir Ivanovich Nemtsov. RRS was claimed for a range of 1,5 km and weight of 4 Kg. Some sources say 8 Kg. RBS means Radiostancija Bataljonnoj Seti or Battalion Net Radio. RRS means Radiostancija Rotnoj Seti or Company Net Radio. RBS or 4-R type had range of 3,5 km( "Arax" 4 - 5 km ), and weight of 12 Kg( "Arax"- 10 Kg ). People who tried to use them in real combat circumstances all said they were not useful and abandoned it in 1941. Soldiers and officers often called them " See See But Not Hear ", laughing that one can often see his correspondent but has no communication chances.

RBS-2 AM 1940 "Arakh" Battalion Set and was named for the ARAX River. RBS-3 AM 1940 "Arakh" Walkie-Talkie, same as ARAX. RSB-F-3 AM 1943 Ground Units. The letter F means FURGON or VAN mounted sets. 13R AM 1.750-4.250 Probably made in 1943 but exact dates of manufacture is unknown. It has the same designation as RB-M set and was made in Leningrad during the siege from N-1 broadcast receivers parts.

V 100 Series[edit]

The V 100 Series of radios radio was a "Lend Lease" set made by the Pilot Radio company. Externally it resembles the SCR 294. It came in four packs, the radio, the generator, the generator seats and the antenna bags. Unlike the American SCR 284 generator which had a seat for one man, the V 100 generator had seats for two people, one on either side of the generator. There were the V 100, the V 100-A which appeared in 1943 and the V 100-B which appeared in 1944. As pointed out earlier, they were bought by the Russian and were not true "Lend Lease" sets.

R-106[edit]

R-105, R-105D, R-105M[edit]

The R-105 is the most common of the series, and was intended for use by infantry units. Operating in one continuous band on 36-46.1mc, with an intended channel spacing of 25 or 50kc. RF power output is rated at 1 watt, FM. Power is derived from two internal Nicad batteries. Differences between the R-105 & other radios in this family can be seen below.

P-105D, P-108D, P-109D Receiver/Transmitter[edit]

The P-105D, P-108D, and P-109D family of manpack transceivers were manufactured in the early 50's and used by Russian and East German armies to provide radio communication within the Division at all levels down to Company HQ, Infantry and Artillery. Operating in one continuous band, output power is approximately 1.2 Watts. Modulation FM. Power is provided by two sets of 2.4V rechargeable batteries. Supplied brand new and un-issued with full accessories kit, complete with original wooden transportation crate, available while stocks last.

P-105M Receiver/Transmitter[edit]

The P-105M transceiver was developed in the early 60's as a replacement for the P-105D family of manpack transceivers. Used by Russian and East German armies, primarily by Infantry for Company to Battalion communication. Operating in one continuous band and output power of approximately 1 Watt. Modulation FM. Powered by two sets of 2.4V rechargeable batteries. Supplied brand new and un-issued with full accessories kit, complete with original wooden transportation crate, available while stocks last.

The most common of all the Russian radios to be found not just in Iraq, but all over the world, is the R-105 family of backpack radios. The radio is rather primitive by any bodies standards, it is not easy to use, nor does it have any saving graces "If you fire one up, it usually works". First introduced in the early 1950's, it was revamped in the 1960's to use more modern materials ( D Models ), & again in the 1970's ( M Models ). It has been referred to by many as a slightly updated copy of captured WW-II German sets and many of it's characteristics, & accessories will show this lineage.

All the sets in this series are of tube type design, with the only presence of transistors being in the radio's internal inverter power supply. Their cabinets (M models) are constructed of a heavy bakerlight type material, sealed with paraffin to prevent water & dust seepage. A Removable cover allows access to the sets controls, which are placed on one side. The radio is fully operational with this cover in place & it does provide exceptional protection for the controls, as well as further enhancement of the radios watertight integrity. The opposite side of the radio has an identical cover to house it's rechargeable Nicad batteries.

The short antenna supplied with the sets is unique in design. Constructed of a series of aluminium beads strung on a steel cable, a stiff spring on the end keeps pressure against these beads & a semi rigid but flexible antenna results. Releasing this spring tension collapses the antenna allowing it to be rolled up for easy storage. Better than the British system on the PRC-349, US SCR-300, & anything produced in WW-II, but still not as good as the U.S. "Stanley" tape configuration that's been in use since 1949, which was copied from the WW II German FeldFu and Dorette antennas.

Accessories are available to allow the set to perform various tasks. Without exception they exhibit the utmost in simplicity, & crude utilitarian design. Carrying equipment consist of a very thin plastic covered cushion that is placed on the back of the radio, & simple canvas straps. A long sectional antenna is provided to increase the sets range while in it's backpack configuration, it does not incorporate a spring to minimise damage. This same antenna is combined with a "C" clamp type mount for use as a vehicular antenna. A metal frame used to secure the radio in it's transit case, can also double as a vehicular mount. It's combination headset/Mic is very similar to that used with the WW-II U.S. Navy TBY. A handset could also be used that is virtually a copy of a WW-II German type, & looks much like those used on U.S. EE-8 field telephones. Other accessories include a long wire antenna, & a 50 watt mobile amplifier is also known to have been built, both intended to increase the basic radio's range, the later has not been encountered as a Desert Storm Trophy, but were recovered in the mid east wars of earlier years

R-108M, R-109M, R-114[edit]

R-108, R-109, R-114 The R-108, R-109, & R-114 are identical to the R-105 with the exception of frequency coverage, & the intended branch of service they were to be used by. In similar fashion to U.S. allocations in the 50's-early 60's The VHF frequency spectrum was sectioned off, the different types of combat units having their own frequency range.

To this end we have the R-108 being operated by artillery units, between 28-36.5mc. The R-109, by anti-aircraft artillery on 21.5-28.5mc And the R-114 20-26mc for command & liaison at battalion level.

Though the R-105M series had been reported to be out of production before 1987, the following provided by one of the radio collectors group would tend to indicate that it was produced longer than officially thought. Further, it might reflect the build up of all armaments, due to the hostilities between Iraq & Iran.

One interesting fact: I have an R-105M Russian set that came from the Gulf, the wood transit case has a contract number and date on it. The date is 1986, this is consistent with the other equipment I have seen that seems to have been purchased in the early 1980s. The BCC-349s have a similar production date on them. Documents that were included with my set indicate it entered service in 1982, & had a last inspection date of 1990. Note, these documents are present in both Russian & German.

Production of this radio series has taken place in many of the former Warsaw Pact countries. Today, East German examples in nearly new condition, with all their accessories & in the transit case, can be obtained from a West Coast surplus dealer. Only the Russian variants of the R-105D,M, & R-108D,M have been confirmed as in use by Iraqi forces. Versions of these radios have also been found that display panel makings in English, Spanish and French. Though it is possible that these examples are of Desert Storm origin, that has not been confirmed. And there is a possibility that these variants made their way to this country by way of Granada. Remember that one?

We can easily see why the tank radios of Russian origin were present in Iraq. Basically if you purchased a Russian tank, You got a Russian radio! The question arises that if the Iraqi's had a choice, whether they would purchase equipment of such extremely antiquated design? In the case of the Portable radios, this answer is simple and a reoccurring one. Those were cheap! Huge stockpiles still exist of these types, they are being sold on the surplus market by the box carload. Surplus sales both here & in European publications carry ads for these radios. In the case of the tank radios, maybe that question will be answered by our Chinese entry into the field.
