    powered by 120 V HT battery and 2 V LT accumulator 16 Ah; loop aerial, range around 1 mile.
    The set came with a Aerial Unit and a Power Unit on a packpack steel frame and a Control Unit mounted on the waist strap.
    After two prototypes, only a small series of thirty improved sets have been built, they turned out to be instable and detuned even if the operator loosened his belt or wore a steel helmet.
