AIRCRAFT RADIO TRANSMITTER-RECEIVER ME
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The Model ME is designed for use with aircraft of the observation and
reconnisance types. Its purpose is for communications with both ships and
other planes. The transmitter and receiver are enclosed in one case and
connected by detachable cables to the wind driven generator, battery, key,
antenna and frame of the plane.
Break-in operation is obtained by means of a relay which connects the
antenna to the transmitter when the key is closed but leaves the antenna
connected to the receiver at all
other tines. Transmission is continuous wave, crystal controlled, at a
predetermined constant frequency. The receiver is of the non-radiating type
arranged for damped or un-damped wave reception.
