Radio set AN/SRC-3 is a crystal controlled, fixed frequency, transmitting and receiving equipment which operates on the distress frequency range for AM (CW) communications from lifeboats.
This equipment consists of a single unit containing transmitting and receiving components and includes a charging panel, batteries and headphones.
It can be used for distress (SOS) signalling or for emergency CW communications by means of the telegraph hand key on the front panel. It uses a conventional long-wire type of antenna.
Power is furnished by 1 storage batter and a 45 volt dry cell.
