Wireless Set No. 22 ( ZA 11964 )
The WS-22 was used as a "general purpose" transceiver with low power. The device has two communication methods, radio telephony and CW. Furthermore, the set can be worn as a "manpack '. It can be mounted on a kind of trolley or, especiallyfor use in vehicles. There is also a mountingsystem for donkeys. Frequency range 2 - 8 Mc, divided into two bands, 2 - 4,5 Mc and 4.5 to 8 Mc.
The receiver is a normal 7 tube superheterodyne with an RF stage, a separate local oscillator, mixer, two IF stages on 465 kc, diode detector and a LF amplifier. There is a BFO for reception of undamped telegraphy present. The sensitivity is 3 microvolts for 10 mW output and signal / noise ratio of 15 db.
The transmitter consists of an oscillator with frequency doubling, a drive-limiter and an output stage with three parallel power tubes. For the modulator, two receiver tubes are used. The set is housed in a steel case with a separate vibrator power unit. There is also a dynamic headphone and microphone used. As an antenna a 12ft. rod (mobile business), 34ft. bar (static mode) or 140 ft. wire can be used.
The distances that can be covered are: 10 miles in R / T, 20 miles in CW with 12 ft. rod and with the 34 ft rod about the double range. The current consumption is, depending on the use, between 2.2 and 4.6 A. at 12 V.
For more information on the set, see the books by Louis Meulstee or visit his website "Wireless for the Warrior": The information provided on these pages is mainly consists of pictures and short descriptions. A website with lots of pictures is under this link: Wireless Set No 22 & Accessories.
