• Notes
• The Kingsley K/CR/11 is a communications type receiver similar in concept to the National HRO. The AR7 version came with 5 plug in coil boxes: A, 140-405 kHz; B, 500-1420 kHz; C, 1.42-4.3 MHz; D, 4.3-12.5 MHz; E, 12.5-25 MHz. The complete receiver consisted of 3 rack mounted units: the receiver proper, the power supply and the speaker. The two 6X5GT valves are in the power supply unit which uses a non-synchronous vibrator on 12 VDC. About 3200 AR7 versions were made and it is the most commonly found variant of the K/CR/11. Other versions made include one for the Australian Army and another for the Dutch Navy. After the war, the AR7 was keenly sought by amateur radio operators on the surplus market and, as a result, examples found today have usually been heavily modified.
