ELECTRONIC TEST EQUIPMENT 

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: 
Test Set I-148-A is a portable test instrument used in measuring the standing wave ratio of the rf voltage along a non*resonant transmission line. It may also be employed in checking the balance to ground of a parallel, two wire, open, non-resonant transmission line. 

RELATIONSHIP TO SIMILAR EQUIPMENT: This equipment is part of Test Equipment RC-70-A. 

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Frequency Range: 100 to 120 mc Current Range: 0 to 250 ma Accuracy: ± 10% Major Unit: 1 I-148A 11" x 5" x 3" 3 lbs 

TUBES, CRYSTALS, TRANSISTORS TUBE COMPLEMENT: None. 

REFERENCE DATA AND LITERATURE: TM 11-1043, TO 16-40RC70-2; Army Dwg ES-D-11133

Think of it as a VHF "Slotted Line" detector used to find the maximum and minimum RF voltages along a balanced line!

Regards.
