Subcollections
Communications Gallery - Centenary of Royal Australian Corps of Signals
Overview

The Radio Set Control Group AN/GRA-39 provided the capability of remotely controlling a radio set up to a distance of 2 miles, using standard field wire. Remote control allows us to operate the radio set at the desired installation, yet locate the radio set in the best position for more efficient communication between the remote and the local control unit operators.

Historical information

The major components of the AN/GRA-39 are the local control unit and the remote control unit. The AN/GRA-39 can be used in four ways: radio transmission and reception from the remote control unit; radio transmission and reception from a local battery switchboard and the telephones connected to the switchboard; telephone communication between local and remote control unit operators; and radio transmission and reception from the local control unit
