Trophy 3 Battery Version

The Trophy 3 Battery version is the portable counterpart to the Trophy 3 AC, offering the same core improvements in tuning and audio output but designed for battery operation. This made the Trophy 3 Battery ideal for users needing flexibility and portability, such as field operators or listeners without reliable mains access.

Technical and Design Features

• Power Supply: Battery-operated, enabling use in remote or mobile settings.
• Tuning and Output: Enhanced tuning mechanism for more precise station selection compared to the Trophy 2.
• Loudspeaker output: moving beyond the earlier headphone-only designs.
• Frequency Range: The unit comes with two BTS One-Shot inductors covering 12-52 metres. Additional inductors are available to extend the complete wave range from 6.2 to 200 metres.

Design
The Trophy 3 was a TRF (Tuned Radio Frequency) receiver, typical for its era and purpose, offering straightforward operation and excellent performance for its class.

Series Context
The Trophy 3 AC & Trophy 3 battery sits between the original Trophy 2 (battery-powered, headphone use) and the more advanced Trophy 5 (with features like band-spreading, B.F.O., and A.V.C.), offering a balanced mix of performance and accessibility. The top-end Trophy 8 further extended the series with additional refinements for serious enthusiasts.

Price
£5:15:0 with two one-shot inductors, less batteries.
