I like seeing equipment used in the cold war era as it is a period of time I am particularly interested in. Very well explained and narrated demonstration. Thank you for the video. Greetings from the UK.
Excellent demonstration of this type of radio, a nice and noisy bit of kit. I liked to see the original leg clip still in place on the key. Videoing nicely carried out. Many thanks. Best wishes.
Fin video igjen Helge. Jeg likte ikke "nier'n" da jeg var "inne" for 50 år siden, men nå som pensjonist synes jeg det er en morsom radio. 73 de LA5MT, Asbjørn
Jeg forsto ikke hvorfor de måtte lage en så dårlig mottaker. Med AM på kvelden fikk vi aldri samband, kun QRM. Sikker noe med frekvensvalg, noe de heller ikke behersket så bra.
Very nice old man. I enjoy a plessy RT 320 set I bought year back. Nothing beats it for DX in in an End feed long wire Ant 3 meters above above the ground. Never tried with tuned hurried longtime dipole. KC2SLJ. FN30 NY USA. Go Well RTO.
Hat's off to All of you Folks that learnd how to operate all of this hardware, very important to not forget what was used to communicate for survival for thousands of people that depended on these machines along with the Technicians. Today We have Tranceivers That are about the size of pocket books that put out as much power using very little current, I wish you had todays technology back then. Thank you very much de N7KO 73'
The po0wer supplies and amplifier I have not seen before. The radio itself was more common at hamfests in Ohio, and PA about 20 years ago than now. Only see radio -- and that is rare. Thanks Helge!! I think some call them angry 9.
Nice video, Helge - you have some beautiful radio equipment dating back to before my birth and I'm 57! Sometimes I feel quite old! What is the output power of the transmitter? Scary amount of power drawn from the battery.
Hi Helge, i never have seen that amplifier, very nice construction. The Angry 9 was used by lots of Ham Radio operators, who had to count every D Mark in the sixties. (Apprentices and Students) After its retirement in the Army it showed up in Surplus catalogues for about 200DM. An FT 277 was more than 2000DM. Have you used it with the Crank Generator, without amplifier. You feel every Morse letter in your arms. For a longer Qso, you need several generator operators.
@LA6NCA when it would be a room bicycle generator, you could do it on your own. With the Crank Generator you need a second person. So your Camerawomen must use a tripod, and operate the Generator. LOL.
Helge, thank you very much for another interesting film. A few days ago, my XYL and I returned from a trip to Bergen and Ålesund. Norway is a fantastic (really fantastic) country. We also used that "pencil trick" in the Polish Army in the 70s/80s :-). Vy 73 SP2LNY
It is a special tube that is ready for use 2 seconds after the heating is switched on. When I press the microphone, the tubes get heating current. So there weren't that many options.
@@LA6NCAThe LV-80 amp uses the 6146 tube and if I am not mistaken the heaters are always on. In GRC-9 the 2E22 heater remains always on during CW operation. Do the AM-66 heaters work the same way?
@@LA6NCA And if you find any information why Germans use that nickname "SAMOS" for the receiver... Thank you! 73 de SV8CYV Vassilis from SAMOS Island eastern Aegean see...
Great video ! I also use sometimes my GRC-9 with the PA from Hagenuk (LV80/GRC9). This PA is very unseful also for other oldtimer transmitters, like the german WW2 15 W.S.E.b. or the Torn Fu b1. Videos at "oe5awl1" 73 de OE5AWL
Thank you so much for this Video. Brings me back to my Army time 1965 in the German Bundeswehr and Could enjoy each Moment of this Long past time.

Nice radio setup and they don't build them like that anymore. Great fun to own and operate. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the nice comment.
Yes, this one is noisy. Both acoustically and on the receiver.
Hello, very interesting as usually. Take care 73
Beautiful rig, solid construction, almost indestructible ... congratulations !!!!
Your videos are priceless and a very sincere measure of history. It is very entertaining, and I enjoy the equipment and explanations.
Thanks for the nice comment. It inspires me to make new videos.
Amazing thank you 💯👍
very lovely radio, i like to watch this video very much. thank you
It is make me to remember my olden days of my R/O life. Thank you very much indeed.
I was a radar operator in the Navy everything was old school like this but it was very reliable.
Really impressive machine that seems really well made. Great video.
Trevligt att du bevarar gamla miltär radios.
Och att de fungerar efter 75 år.
Yes, imagine that they are so old, and then everything works right away.
I didn't have to fix anything. Just working.
Interesting equipment 😊😊😊😊
I had never seen before the use of a pencil to check the output to the antenna 😮

Thanks for the video!👍🏻
Very well explained, very beautiful equipment!!! 73 CT1BRM
An interesting way to check the output power, with a pencil. I will try this method on the anode of the tube of my power amplifier on the GU-81m tube.
Very interesting to see the rigging inside. Always a good video from you.
Thank you.
@@LA6NCA Jeg abonnerer på dine gode videoer.
Very nice Helge, thank you VE3WPZ
Great to see all that gear operational and it has survived the times ,they new how to make them in the day 73's de ZL3JE
Great video, thanks!
Very nice video. This amplifier is rare in Holland; we use the LV80 or RA1 amp. And a good idea that female voice to comment!
Interesting comment.
Thanks for also commenting on the voice on the video.
Always interesting to see gear like this on the air.
It is great to see the whole radio set, Thank You.👍👍👍👍
Nice 👍 73 from 19DCG017 the Nederlands

The equipment looks amazing from the interior views. Thank you for the demo, 73!
Impressing stuff Helge. We must make a QSO soon :-) 73 LA6YEA
I impressed with your archives collections, with working condition,you do not mentioned it's frequency ON AIR ,love from INDIA.
I forgot to mention the frequency. It is 3.7 MHz
هذه الاجهزة تحفة فنية بحد ذاتها

Fantastic!

I think this amplifier was only used in European NATO countries.
@@LA6NCA Thanks for the information and getting to see these in use.
nice looking, thank
Nice video, Helge - you have some beautiful radio equipment dating back to before my birth and I'm 57! Sometimes I feel quite old!
What is the output power of the transmitter? Scary amount of power drawn from the battery.
I believe this radio has hardly ever been used. It has only been stored for use in the mobilization brigades.
Output power is 90 watts.

I have plans for a new video where I operate with a crank generator.

Интересная техника. А карандашом проверить мощность я в восторге.
Hello, also used by the Belgian army +/- 1960-1985, best regards.
Thanks for the information. 1985 oh...
Artig video til tross for at jeg ikke er noen radiomann.
Cool!
Thank you. :-)
Lindo equipamento, rádios modernos diminuíram de tamanho, mas estes rádios tem um designe insuperavel, parecem robustos como tanques de guerra.

Thank you for visiting us.
The pencil trick was fun to hear about.
Beautiful rig! however, where does all that hum come from?
There is acoustic noise from the power. The receiver uses a vibrator. The transmitter and amplifier use dyna motors.
I wonder why they used the 2E22. Wasn't that tube kind of obsolete by the time this amp was in production?
It is a special tube that is ready for use 2 seconds after the heating is switched on. When I press the microphone, the tubes get heating current. So there weren't that many options.
@@LA6NCAThe LV-80 amp uses the 6146 tube and if I am not mistaken the heaters are always on.
In GRC-9 the 2E22 heater remains always on during CW operation. Do the AM-66 heaters work the same way?
Any demonstration of SAMOS WWII hi sensitive German navy receiver?..
Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, it's coming. I don't know when, but it will come.
