The R106 radio man packs cover the frequencies 41.6 to 48.65 Mhz and use AM. They saw service from 1956 t0 1962 and were then replaced by the R105 series. They are well constructed and use a bakelite case. The set is powered by two Rechargeable 1.2v batteries strapped together to make a 2.4v pack. The set has the standard spine type Kulikov collapsable antenna for normal use and a large wire herring bone antenna for greater distance. The set uses valve technology and produces around 0.75 watts. Both a phone type handset and a headphone and microphone combination are available for this unit.
