  • Wireless Set No. 26: VHF/UHF transceiver on two 3 ton lorries and trailers used as VHF link for telephone communications; coverage tranmitter 85 - 100 MHz, receiver 83-137 MHz (corresponding GPO model 230 - 255 MHz), AM multi channel, pout 65 - 100 Watts.
    Powered by 230 V 3,5 kVA generators on trailers; two big Koomans array antennas, one for reception and one for transmitting; range around 40 - 60 miles (optical connection necessary).
    Wireless Set No.26 used by British Army als the earliest VHF radio link providing six duplex telephone channels simultaneously.
    Two prototype sets from 1939 were sent over the channel with British Expeditionary forces to France for trials, one of the sets fell into enemy hands. The production sets have been in use very successfully for communications over the channel to Normandy and over the Messina strait.
    The equipment has developed in collaboration with the GPO (postal services), where the sets have been used to establish telephone links to British islands.
