"The Transmitter-Receiver T R 9 consisted of a two-valve radiotelephony 
transmitter (Type T 1396) and a six-valve receiver contained in one 
case. It was designed primarily for use in fighter aircraft, such as 
the Defiant, Hurricane and Spitfire and was intended to provide two-way 
communication to a range of 35 miles air/ground and 5 miles air-to-air. 
Frequency coverage was 4300-6000 kc/s and the entire power supply was 
derived from an HT dry battery and a secondary cell. In single-seat 
fighters the set was installed behind the pilot's cockpit The pilot was 
provided with headphones, microphone and a remote control unit which 
operated the send-receive switch, receiver tuning and volume control."
