  • 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 Three-Valve Set

    Range 15--20 miles on loudspeaker, 100-130 miles on phones. With outside aerial, loudspeaker results up to 100 miles.

    Price inclusive £20. Loudspeaker extra.
