Thank you so much for this Video. Brings me back to my Army time 1965 in the German Bundeswehr and Could enjoy each Moment of this Long past time.

Nice radio setup and they don't build them like that anymore. Great fun to own and operate. Thanks for sharing.

[@ElectromagneticUK]

Excellent demonstration of this type of radio, a nice and noisy bit of kit. I liked to see the original leg clip still in place on the key. Videoing nicely carried out. Many thanks. Best wishes.

[@LA6NCA]

Thanks for the nice comment. Yes, this one is noisy. Both acoustically and on the receiver.

[@dffabryr]

Beautiful rig, solid construction, almost indestructible ... congratulations !!!!

Your videos are priceless and a very sincere measure of history. It is very entertaining, and I enjoy the equipment and explanations.

An interesting way to check the output power, with a pencil. I will try this method on the anode of the tube of my power amplifier on the GU-81m tube.

Hat's off to All of you Folks that learnd how to operate all of this hardware, very important to not forget what was used to communicate for survival for thousands of people that depended on these machines along with the Technicians. Today We have Tranceivers That are about the size of pocket books that put out as much power using very little current, I wish you had todays technology back then. Thank you very much de N7KO 73'

Fin video igjen Helge. Jeg likte ikke "nier'n" da jeg var "inne" for 50 år siden, men nå som pensjonist synes jeg det er en morsom radio. 73 de LA5MT, Asbjørn

[@LA6NCA]

Jeg forsto ikke hvorfor de måtte lage en så dårlig mottaker. Med AM på kvelden fikk vi aldri samband, kun QRM. Sikker noe med frekvensvalg, noe de heller ikke behersket så bra.

[@jerryshore8374]

The po0wer supplies and amplifier I have not seen before. The radio itself was more common at hamfests in Ohio, and PA about 20 years ago than now. Only see radio -- and that is rare. Thanks Helge!! I think some call them angry 9.

[@LA6NCA]

I think this amplifier was only used in European NATO countries.

Impressing stuff Helge. We must make a QSO soon :-) 73 LA6YEA

[@ambient5]

I wonder why they used the 2E22. Wasn't that tube kind of obsolete by the time this amp was in production?

[@LA6NCA]

It is a special tube that is ready for use 2 seconds after the heating is switched on. When I press the microphone, the tubes get heating current. So there weren't that many options.

[@ambient5]

@@LA6NCAThe LV-80 amp uses the 6146 tube and if I am not mistaken the heaters are always on. In GRC-9 the 2E22 heater remains always on during CW operation. Do the AM-66 heaters work the same way?

Beautiful rig! however, where does all that hum come from?

[@LA6NCA]

There is acoustic noise from the power. The receiver uses a vibrator. The transmitter and amplifier use dyna motors.

[@LA6NCA]

Thanks for the information. 1985 oh...

[@ralfkruse7565]

Hi Helge, i never have seen that amplifier, very nice construction. The Angry 9 was used by lots of Ham Radio operators, who had to count every D Mark in the sixties. (Apprentices and Students) After its retirement in the Army it showed up in Surplus catalogues for about 200DM. An FT 277 was more than 2000DM. Have you used it with the Crank Generator, without amplifier. You feel every Morse letter in your arms. For a longer Qso, you need several generator operators.

[@LA6NCA]

Thanks for the interesting info. I have plans for a new video where I operate with a crank generator.

[@ralfkruse7565]

@LA6NCA when it would be a room bicycle generator, you could do it on your own. With the Crank Generator you need a second person. So your Camerawomen must use a tripod, and operate the Generator. LOL.

[@peterhausamann5923]

Cool!

[@LA6NCA]

Thank you. :-)

[@rjy8960]

Nice video, Helge - you have some beautiful radio equipment dating back to before my birth and I'm 57! Sometimes I feel quite old! What is the output power of the transmitter? Scary amount of power drawn from the battery.

[@LA6NCA]

I believe this radio has hardly ever been used. It has only been stored for use in the mobilization brigades. Output power is 90 watts.
