SAILOR RADIO STATION on a Danish Ship

SAILOR RADIO of Copenhagen, Denmark - Ship's Radio Station of 1980-1990. Key was by Amplidan also of Copenhagen. Fabulous Station.

It was 1 kW output from 410 kHz to 29,999.9 kHz with emission types of A1, A2, A3A, A3J, A3H (single side band with full carrier - to be AM RT compatable). The A2 tone was 400 Hz so it made a beautiful tone and you could hear tones at 400, 800 and 1200 Hz in a wide selectivity receiver). Notice the automatic-send-receive teleprinter to the left with the tape reader and 5 level baudot tape, the radio room clock with red and blue sectors (this is the Scandavian colors they used blue instead of green) and above the console, notice the insulators from which copper tubing exits - this was the single ended feedline used on ships - no coaxial runs were used because the whole system was an antenna and matched at the transmitter.

I found a manual for this - it's the SAILOR MARINE DUPLEX STATION which is attached to this email.
