[Milsurplus] Re: Time to put your jammers on

[Tom Norris]

In no particular order --

The output tubes are Western Electric 703A
Spec page for the tubes here
http://www.hts-homepage.de/WesternElectric/WE703A.html

Code name apparently for this set was "Rug"
During the Normandy Invasion 240 of these,
along with another 200 higher power jammers
were successful in jamming any German radar
installations or radar guided guns.

With that power supply, it *may* (or may not)
be a UPT-T4 APQ-2 trainer. May be why the
ps looks so neat. The trainer is a hella more rare
that the everyday T-9  I can't find any documented
differences, other that the statement that the trainer
was "modified" Only accessory listed with the trainer
is the AS-263/UPT antenna, as with the regular jammer.

Now if I can remember the dozen sites where I found
all that info! Seems I didn't bookmark them!
