Hi Tom, Great video. The book I have on these is the 4th edition of Raymond S. Moore's "Communications Receivers, The Vacuum Tube Era: 1932-1981". I had to get rid of my boat anchors a while ago and I miss them. While the brands were assorted, I had mostly Nationals. My National interest stems from the fact that they were manufactured in my home town of Malden Mass. I was even in the plant once with my dad when he was there to drop off a parcel for a chap. At 9 years old, I didn't really appreciate totally where I was at the time. Thanks for sharing your collection!

Radio call for my ship DD784 NTMF(how about those phonetics!). We had lots of hot stuff. main receivers were R1051 were state of the art at that time. only 2 miniature tubes in the turret tuner. the old TED transmitters dissipated 1500 watts to get 10watts of am and RED receivers had lots of tubes. collins URC32(2ea) and westinghouse WRT2(2ea) lots of nice heat. The big GRC27 high power 100w uhf transceiver(10 telephone dial remote channels) a real stove. there were a lot of tubes in radar transmitters and radar repeaters. lots of tubes. very little solid state.

Fred Osterman has a new version of this book. I think it came out about two years ago. I have the new version of the book and it is fun to flip through. Anyone who wants to get a copy can get it at universal radio. Nice video as always Tom.

I will see if I can find one.

these old Collins receivers would heat up Radio 1 on my ship unbearable. . just four receivers totalled over 70 tubes!
1966-67 was peak sunspot period and a shortage of modern equipmrnt hurt operations. The Vietnam war pulled much needed personal and THE LIBERTY attach was a result.
Hope this added to the R388 aura, getting real life operation storys.

I have a eton satellit radio but can't get it to stay on turns off after 7-10 secs. Any ideas on how to get it working?

[@hamrad88]

Only guess is maybe a capacitor shorting in the power supply but only a guess.
