The radiomen not only had to send and receive messages, but they also had to know how to repair the equipment if their were problems.

Thank you. My father-in-law was a US Army radio operator stationed at Adak with the Navy during WW2 and my brother-in-law was a submariner during or after the Vietnam War. I learned Morse code as Boy Scout from the US Marines at Camp Pendleton and have been an Amateur Extra radio operator for 20 years. One of my nicknames is "Chief." Thanks again for the video. N0QFT

short wave morse code communication is the only technology right now which has enabled global communication without relying on relay station, such as satelites. Based on this senses, it should not be considered as obsolete. Today, the internet relies on relay station such as satellite, which may not be available during disasters ,such as alien invasion.

27 years as a two way radio technician for Motorola. They were tube amps so that’s why they needed their own generator. The grid current across the plates of the tubes will knock you down dead. I’d also guess those transmitters were kilowatt for sure. You quoted VHF (120-160mhz ?). Also, are they FM, AM, SSB ?

The TBL was primarily used for CW (continuous wave) Morse code it also could transmit basic amplitude modulated (AM) voice. The SCR-522s operated on AM voice between 100 and 156 MHz ( although they used the term megacycles back In the 1940s. The SCR-522 was a very early VHF AM voice transmitter/receiver set. Aircraft VHF radios to this day both civilian and military use AM for voice comms because FM, commonly used on VHF for ground mobile applications has issues such as “picket fencing” rapid fluttering fading and some other undesirable effects associated with the high speed of aircraft relative to ground vehicles. The Army was just starting to use FM for tactical voice comms in WW2. Single sideband voice comms were not adapted by the military until the mid to late 1950s. There was some limited use of SSB on long distance military point to point transoceanic circuits in WW2. For all its size and weight the TBL power output was a whopping 200 watts on CW and 50 watts on AM voice! Other items in visible in the Silversides vkdeo include an RAK (VLF and LF) and RAL )HF) receiver pair ( the square black boxes with two meters on the front panel, and an RBO ships entertainment receiver. There is also a civilian Hallicrafters early VHF receiver, not sure exactly why they are there on some of the WW2 fieet boats, perhaps for ESM (electronic surveillance) purposes listening for enemy aircraft on VHF or radars, some of which operated at the lower end of the VHF spectrum in WW2.

The Hallicrafters SX-25 doesn't belong there. Besides, the Hallicrafters has 1960s knobs from an ARR-41 style receiver on it. No radios or other equipment would have been just stacked unsecured on top other equipment, so this radio room is not quite historically accurate.

Neil Krumbeck Interesting Video. In May last year, our team discovered the wreck of the USS Robalo (SS-273) in the southern Philippines. I've been researching fleet submarine radio equipment as we believe that Robalo's radio may have failed as she was not heard from for over three weeks and left her assigned patrol area early. What are the chances of a complete radio failure and would you know if anything like that has ever happened to any US Submarines?
@chrisc15534 жыл бұрын
Complete radio failure is unlikely unless power died. Most naval craft carried various transceivers and receiver transmitter pairs to cover various frequency ranges. If one unit died unlike today the RO (Radio Operator) had the parts and experience to repair it. Other situations such as antenna issues and atmospheric conditions could play into that. But if in trouble distress frequencies were heavily monitored and the RO could get a signal out. In this video I see 5 receivers I can immediately Identify. There are probably more and at least 3 transmitters though I only see one. Each transmitter receiver pair if designated for a certain frequency range (vlf lf mf hf vhf uhf) would have their own antenna. So with so many radios and antennas though I could see it happening it's unlikely that sudden radio failure occurred. But I am not an expert.
