Abstract
In 1945 the operation of vehicular and field equipments in World War II was
carefully analyzed and military characteristics for a new series of
vehicular equipments established. The primary improvements over World War II
equipments considered necessary were: reduction in the number of crystals
required; more flexibility of channel assignment; complete
immersionproofing; and capability of operating from storage batteries or
from hand generators and dry battery sources in the field. The new
equipments developed to meet these requirements, Radio Sets AN/GRC-3 through
8, are comprised of various assemblies of a group of major standardized
components. Vehicular equipments to meet various communication needs may be
assembled from these components on a building block principle. Each of the
components and the acoustic accessories have been made immersionproof, this
much-needed protection that was found necessary to attain reliability under
tropical conditions. The equipments are designed for operation over an
ambient temperature range from -40°C to up to 65°C.
