Default Sailor 46T

What does the T in 46T stand for?
I am sure I read somewhere once that the 46T was primarily a DF receiver but had some "secret"(?) qrp transmitting function....

I restored one years ago and I seem to remember reading this in the manual but there certainly wasnt any transmit facility on my 46T.

anyone?

Hi,

There wasn't any TX facility on mine either.

But I do remember seeing a 66 receiver (not sure if a 66T or 66TS) factory fitted with a
low power TX into one of the side panels and clearly marked so not secret!

I seem to recollect that it was a single crystal controlled channel for 2182kc/s

Kind regards

Dave

that sounds like it. I am sure I remember seeing one of those old 60s or 70s sales brochures with a funny little fist mic hanging off the side of something that looked like a 46T or 66T.

cant find it now though.

Hi Cecil

That's a very nice combination.

I have found the set that Crestavega was thinking of, - the 96D low power TX
built into the 66TS Receiver.

Kind regards
Dave

66ts/96d - that is exactly the radio I was thinking of, thanks for that. I wonder what target market was for that little adornment?
