Wireless Set No. 108 Mk.II
Built by Radio Corporation of Australia, these were modelled on the British W/S No. 8

Wireless Set No.108MkIII is an updated and improved version of the W/S No.108MkII also made by Radio Corporation of Australia

Wireless Set No.19 MkII (Aust)/2
Amalgamated Wireless Australasia (AWA) built the Australian version of the MkII (W/S No.19 Mk.II (Aust)) during the war, but postwar, the British MkII's were rebuilt in Australia using PVC insulated wiring. These were denoted by the /2 inserted in the nomenclature.

Another receiver made in Australia for U.S. Forces was the AMR-200. It was made by Eclipse Radio but the contract was cancelled due to the end of WWII. Very few of these were actually completed before the contract ended. It is actually a copy of a Hammarlund Receiver and is shown with it's power supply and speaker panel.

Another receiver made in Australia for U.S. Forces was the AMR-300. This was made by STC (Standard Telephone & Cable) and was also used by Australian Navy.

The other Australian copy of the HRO, the AR7 receiver has a distinctive stainless steel front panel. It is shown here complete with it's rack with power supply and speaker panel. Made in Australia by Kingsley Radio for the RAAF as a long range HF receiver. A version of the AR7, some with black painted front panel and others with the stainless steel panel, was used by the Army as Reception Set No.1

The AT-21, made by AWA for the RAAF, is a MF/HF transmitter. It was also supplied to U.S. Forces under the nomenclature of AMT150.

The Australphone was an HF receiver made by AWA post WWII. Used in Army small ships.

The Teleradio C-6770 receiver made by AWA. This is the companion receiver to the Teleradio 3BZ transmitter as used by the Coastwatchers.

The FS6 is an uprated W/S No.101 using an 807 in the Transmitter. The dome in the panel near the key allows the longer valve to be used in the original case. This is an easy way of distinguishing a W/S No.101 from an FS6. The FS6 (short for AWA's Field Set 6 ) was never given a military nomenclature but was used extensively by Australian and Indian forces.

The M.C.R.1 (not to be confused with a WWII clandestine set) was made in Australia by Pye in the 1960's for the Australian Army.

The RC-8 transmitter/receiver was built in Australia by Radio Corporation of Australia for the Australian Navy.

An HF receiver used for long range comms. Made by Philips of Australia.

The Wireless set No.122 is an updated W/S No.22. Made by Radio Corporation of Australia, one of the improvements was to add a Crystal Locked channel.
