I was a CW operator in 1957 while stationed in Germany and used some old equipment and when I operated for Headquarters I used Hallicrafters equipment but it looked newer than the 610. In my own unit I used a WW ll SCR 506 and also the newer ANGRC 19. thanks for showing your equipment.
I was a CW operator in 1955 in Germany - used an scr-506 until I (first operator who'd ever seen AN/GRC-26A) arrived and was given the task of getting the GRC-26A on line - took me some time reading and trying but got it done.
Helge - I cannot tell you how wonderful I think this is. WW2 radios (and equipment in general) are a passion of mine. You've done a great job, thanks for sharing!! KG5BEX
We had a BC-610 at Ohio State Univ radio club W8LT when I was there in early 1960s. We drove it with a Johnson VFO-122. Along with a 75A-4 made a fine QSK rig. Drove a double extended Zepp running from the top of the OSU stadium to the power plant chimney; 100' of open wire feed just touched the. ground. World paid attention when that rig was keyed!! Routinely worked KC4 on 40M. Wally K8BYT actually chased down all the parasitics in that rig! Bill Hale K8JIX. now K0QA
Thanks for the interesting information. I'll try to make a video about AN / GRC-26 later this year. I bought an AN / GRC-26 from the Norwegian Armed Forces some years ago. I then lived in an apartment building and unfortunately had to give it away. I know him who has it and wants to visit him and make a video.
mni tnx for answer, Helge ! I worked in a 26C with der R-388 receivers and the old TELETYPE Model 14 (tape) and 15 (pageprinter) and the 26D with R-390 receivers and Kleinschmidt TT-76 (tape) and TT-98 (pageprinter)... The 26D had the modernized version of the BC-610, the T-368 in grey color... I really liked the shelters very much ! This was the start of my interest in RTTY and Cryptology, which was my job until retirement...
Very nice work. Hope to acquire a 610 sometime when I get more experience working on transmitters. Still working on a Valiant, which breaks all the time, giving me some experience!!! KA4KOE
What make and model oscillator are you using? I am about to install my BC-610E for the first time and considering the options for not using the drifty tuning units. Very nice work OM! Thanks for sharing. Billy N6YW
I don't know what you mean by the BC610 preamp? Do you mean the BC614 microphone amplifier? The best place to find such is EBAY Here is a manual: www.ebay.com/itm/Radio-Transmitter-BC-610-I-instuction-service-manual-book-original/202930305092?hash=item2f3f96b844:g:VUEAAOSwOJVeWhKK
It was a military transmitter, made during a time when tubes was king, and you had to have massive power to make it semi reliable. There is nothing great about the transmitter. Even the cheapest new radio is 10 times better. It's just old. Not great, just old!

Thank you very much Helge, your videos are a "time machine", the quality of the technology shown is incredible. 73.
I was very surprised that the transmitter is so heavy and impossible for one person to lift it. Wonderful vintage and surplus military equipment.

Absolutely impressive.
Kult👍
Nice video.I like more details from inside de BC610.Thanks
I worked with this transmitter in a GRC-26 RTTY set-up with COLLINS 51J4 receivers 57 years ago...

Great work. Thank you.
So beautiful rigs 73

Wonderful!
Very good demonstration sir. What is the oscillator you're using to drive the transmitter with?
Cool radios! I love old tube equipment. how many watts will it do? 73's
Impressive!
Always lovely quality with AM (:
Wonder what sort of RF power out the amplifier gives?
From Indonesia, 👍
Very nice 73 de oh3fp

Did you have a problem with the talk back causing feedback? how did you fix it if you did?
What make and model oscillator are you using? I am about to install my BC-610E for the first time and considering the options for not using the drifty tuning units.
Very nice work OM! Thanks for sharing.
