  • Notes
  • The great feature of the Pelican Wireless Sets is that besides being conveniently portable and simple to operate, they need neither aerial nor earth. This point finds great favour with people who object to unsightly outside connections. Pelican Sets are however provided to allow for aerial and earth attachments for extreme long-distance reception.

    Pelican One-Valve Set

     An efficient single-valve receiver that under normal conditions gives perfect reception on headphones up to 15 miles without attachment of any kind. With an outdoor aerial its range is increased to 60 – 100 miles. Light, compact, and has only one control.

    Price, inclusive of valve, headphones, batteries, and royalties, £10.
